The short answer to the first part of your question is no. I'm assuming that you're referring to the ex post facto law reference in Article 1 § 13. Remember that while DUI sentencing enhancement may not have existed when you got your prior DUI/s it did exist prior to the most recent DUI... View More

Defense counsel would face an uphill battle trying to exclude this as admissible evidence under California Penal Code Section 632—the argument itself would be borderline frivolous.

In California, generally, recording merely needs to be announced, and if the other party stays on the call,... View More

I understand how upsetting it must feel to be arrested and have your home searched under circumstances that seem unclear or possibly unlawful. It is reasonable to be concerned about your rights, especially when the warrant did not include your full legal name and you were not provided with a copy... View More

You are going to have to hire an attorney to sue the firearm dealer who has your guns. If they are already paid for, including the local dealer/defendant's fees, then you might file an Action To Recover Personal Property in General Sessions. But most likely you will have to sue in... View More

Providing such specific legal advice on a forum like this is problematic. If you have fired the attorney who represented you at the preliminary hearing, then you should contact and hire a new attorney. Upon doing so, the questions you have can be answered by your new attorney - after the attorney... View More

Were you speeding, and if so, how far were you from your home when you were speeding? AND 2.) Is your home address the... View More

No, the police can't search your home based "solely" on your criminal history. The fact that police asked for you to go talk with them suggests that there was an investigation "involving" you. Why else would they want to talk to you or to search your phone? There was, of... View More

Yes-the roadside test you're referring to is not actually a breathalyzer; a breathalyzer is a larger, more scientific instrument that you would take a test on back at the jail or at the police station. The hand-held one on the side of the road is called a portable-breath test; it's... View More

Thirteen years is a really long time to be tied up in one case, and I can understand why you feel like it’s controlling your life. The best next step depends on what kind of case this is (family, probate, civil, guardianship, etc.), because the court’s authority comes from that. If there are... View More
