It is best to consult with a civil attorney who handles this type of claim.
I'm trying to figure out when do points "fall off the record", when does the time start counting, from the time a person is convicted or from the time the citation was issued? All I know that in CA it's 3 years and 3 months, but when does the time start counting exactly, so they... Read more »

The points accrue (go on your record) when the conviction occurs, meaning that, until you are convicted the points aren't on your driving record, the three years starts running at the point you are convicted.
once I received a citation?
I'm sorry, I believe my question has been wrongly structured,
I'm trying to figure out when do points "fall off the record", when does the time starts counting, from the time a person is convicted or from the time the citation was issued? Thank you

If you have paid your fine, completed 3 yr or 5 year Informal Probation, completed alcohol classes, and completed Victim Impact Class (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers), you need to hire an Criminal/DUI Defense Attorney to file Motion to Expunge the DUI Conviction.

Dismissed, no. But the officer’s omission might result in fertile cross-examination. Retain an attorney.

No, the DUI ticket cannot be dismissed for that purpose alone. On the other hand, a gifted lawyer can explore this discrepancy in the ticket to attack the officer's credibility at trial. Additionally, a lawyer may be able to review the ticket and report to see if there are more discrepancies... Read more »

It depends on what county you are in. There is always a chance you can get probation. Retain a lawyer to assist . If you have a drinking problem start going to AA.
I'm being told that I have to start my 2 year iid sentence over with 5 months left because I had heart surgery on 1/6/23 and can't continue at the present moment? Is this legal? My heart condition is out of my control and I was doing everything that was asked of me with no violations.... Read more »

You owe the State 2 consecutive years with an IID. How does your heart surgery recovery prevent you from having the IID installed on your car?

Any arrest could impact your immigration I would not ride in the car with him under this set of facts,
Admin suspension effective March 20 2020. Date of court conviction 6/20/2022. Been carrying an SR22 since March of 2020 so the removal date would be Mar/April 2023 if it began at the DMV admin suspension. (All DMV fines and reinstatement fees have been paid)

It is 3 years from the date you reinstated your driving privilege. You can always call the DMV Mandatory Actions Unit to confirm the exact date that happened.

I think you may have already asked this question. The general answer is probably. They do not typically have law enforcement to arrest you at the driver license office.

answered on Jan 16, 2023
There's almost always an opportunity to avoid jail, especially with your last DWI being 20 years ago. That said, you'll need a DWI lawyer to give yourself the best chance. It's impossible to give a complete answer without knowing all the facts of the case and your past, but... Read more »

If you were arrested for DUI it is imperative that you hire a DUI lawyer. Officers routinely write "strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech, unsteady on feet, red watery and bloodshot eyes" in nearly every arrest warrant for DUI. The only recourse is to question him on the witness stand in... Read more »

It is not possible for a lawyer to advise you whether to enter a plea or go to trial without a thorough examination of all the evidence. I have no idea what evidence you may have given through your own statements. I have no idea what other evidence may have been found at the scene. My guess is... Read more »

Always be represented when your freedom is at risk. There are possible favorable resolutions to your case if there are constitutional issues.
I am a 20yo male I got pulled over and charged with 63-19-2450, I also attend college.

A small exception does exist in the statute you cited so the answer would depend on the specific facts and circumstances. I would advise you to have an attorney guide you through the legal process to protect your rights and resolve the matter.
I was pulled over, parked on the side of a residential area asleep in my driver side chair. Awoken by PD taken from car where they found my keys upon the pat down but bac was .085 and they charged me 2 years later by mail. Is there anyway to fight this ?

answered on Jan 3, 2023
There are two potential issues from your question. The first is whether you were in actual physical control of the car. In Arizona you can get a DUI for driving or being in actual physical control. However, sometimes actual physical can be hard to prove especially without evidence of driving or... Read more »

I am not sure of your exact question but if your case is pending in Oklahoma, jurisdiction lies in that state and you need to discuss the matter with an attorney licensed there. Good luck.
