I am desperate and do not know where to turn. Any constructive advice is greatly appreciated.

Sorry you're going through such a tough time. More info is necessary to answer the inquiry.
Experienced lawyers would likely want to ask, during a PRIVATE consultation and not on an on-line forum, questions like:
1. Is the license "permanently revoked?"... View More

If there was no date on the citation (or no citation at all) there will like be no court date until the court receives charges from the city or county prosecutor’s office. The court would then create the case in their system and set a first date for your son to appear.

Charged with DUII, reckless driving, and reckless endanger. Allowed to do diversion since it was my first and only DUII. This is in Multnomah County Oregon.

Review your court documents carefully and consult with an attorney if you any further questions about your obligations arising out of your case. If you had an attorney to help you enter diversion I would reach out to them first.
That said, DUII Diversion Agreements with Oregon courts... View More

The short answer is probably not. The incident date/time is one element of the crime that must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, but the charging document (i.e., the ticket from the officer, or an information of misdemeanor later issued by the prosecutor) usually includes the term “on or...

Good Morning,
I do not have all the facts so my statements may not be entirely accurate to your situation.
Based on your explanation I am not sure what exactly you would want overturned, the fact that it was your husband's third duii, or the conviction. The fact that the... View More
I was detained by multiple police officers on foot, at a separate location. It doesn't seem right that I could get a DUI when I wasn't even operating a vehicle and never admited to doing so under the influence
answered on Sep 7, 2017
You can be "charged" with the crime of DUII regardless of whether at the time of the stop you were driving or not. Being charged with a crime,and being found guilty of a crime are two different things. Since driving is an element of the crime of DUII, you would likely have a very good... View More

I already completed a DUII class, and have sr-22 insurance. Am I required to have an IID? The DMV and my parole officer have said no. I just want to be certain. Thank you.
answered on Dec 5, 2016
You should have a non-driving ID. If not you make a more complicated process but no.
I was not in the car and they were drunk and had taken my keys

That sounds like auto theft. Contact your insurance company, and file a police report concerning the theft.
The dummy you took my car another day and his drug counselor saw him and told his parole officer. Does he do jail aging?
answered on Oct 20, 2016
I don't entirely understand the question, but driving while suspended after a DUI conviction, while on parole, would definitely justify jail time.
Its been 11 years since a previous duii.
answered on Feb 22, 2016
Generally if an earlier DUI conviction is going to be used for enhanced punishment, it will be stated on the warrant of arrest. I practice in VA, nor Oregon but here if the earlier conviction is more than 10 years old, it has almost no affect.
I do not believe this is an infraction of any kind, but does it justify the stop?

It's not a traffic violation by itself, but swerving within a lane can be used by an officer to support a finding of reasonable suspicion for DUII. Whether or not the stop was lawful will depend on what other factors the officer is using to corroborate his/her belief that the swerving was a... View More

It depends on how long ago those DUI convictions were, and whether she satisfied all requirements of the CA court and CA DMV.

It sounds like your driver's license for revoked for life. A "lifetime" revocation means that your driver's license is "permanently" revoked. But, after the passage of time, you may be able to get your license back. A skilled attorney can review your criminal history... View More

You may have just mistakenly not received form 2. You should go back to the courtroom you appeared in before and talk to the clerk. They should be able to get you any page you missed.

There are so many important questions to ask in a DUI case. The two most important are: Were you "driving"? and Were you under the influence of intoxicants? If the answer to either question is no, you may have a very strong defense.
There are also many other questions a good... View More

I think it is very unlikely that you would be sentenced to jail time for being drunk at age 14, especially if this is your first run-in with the law. More likely, you might be ordered to do an alcohol education class and some community service.
