I refused the breathalyzer and field sobriety test. This is my first offense. Totally clean record up until this. I am unemployed. My company shut down due to COVID. I simply don't have the money required to pay at this time. Maybe set up a long-term payment plan if there is no pro bono... Read more »
We can't solicit or offer our services through this portal, however there are many directories of DUI attorneys in your area. I suggest you check out the National College for DUI Defense, AVVO, and FindLaw. Search for DUI lawyers in your area. Good Luck.
They are charging me with an dui with BOC. Of .o8. I haven't drank in 7 years so that's impossible.
You need to contact a seasoned criminal defense trial attorney as soon as possible. This is likely first-degree manslaughter (which carries a minimum of four years and up to life in prison). There are lots of factors that you have not included (wisely) in this question. They will ask for prison... Read more »
I had a seizure in my vehicle as I am an epileptic. The police arrested me for DWI. I had no alcohol in my system, but now they say my THC levels were too high, but no marijuana or paraphernalia was in the car.
I am sorry for your troubles. If the State cannot prove the "amount" or a quantitative level of the THC that would cause "loss of use of your normal mental or physical faculties" it will not be able to prove your case. In that situation my opinion would be to take the case to trial. Good luck.
I didn’t live in Utah so I never went to court. There is no warrant out for my arrest but when I called to pay my fines to get my license reinstated they told me I need to go to court. If I go to court would I be convicted or just have to pay a huge fine for not going to my court date when I was... Read more »
Many of these questions depend on the court and the current prosecutor. Call an attorney in the city where you got the ticket for a consultation.
An ordinance violation is charged under local ordinance (e.g. - city, township or village ordinance). Statutory law refers to Michigan state statutory laws (Michigan Compiled Laws). The substance of a local OWI ordinance is generally the same as state law. The primary difference is local ordinance... Read more »
I hired a lawyer for a DUI case 3 years ago. I was given a deferment for 3 years to get put down to negligent driving, I paid him 5k to follow my case till the end of my deferment period of 3 years. My final hearing for the end of the deferment is May 15. I tried contacting him as I hadn’t heard... Read more »
In all likelihood, you don't need a lawyer for that final hearing. You have a right to be represented, but that is a right you can waive. Every court handles these things a little bit differently, but you should not be penalized because your lawyer is no longer in practice. Your situation is not... Read more »
To the Court: Do not arraign on felony charge until an authorized complaint is filed.
1. 257.625 2.______________ 3. ________________
My ticket says Misdemeanor but why is there a code violation next to number 1 under felony statement?
Thank you Everyone
That message is pre-printed on all Uniform Law Citations (tickets). If the box on your ticket is marked Misdemeanor, then the message about felonies doesn't apply to you. You would not be charged with a felony unless you have two prior driving under the influence convictions, or there was a... Read more »

Because under the old rules the statute allowed them to do that. If it was not a second offense underaged talk to an experienced PennDOT attorney about appealing it.
I was walking home intoxicated. I wasnt even driving and they took my liscence for over 2 years.
Under the old rules they could for a second offense. They changed the statute a while back.
316.193(1) TCATS - DUI (MISDEMEANOR)
I did 12 months probation, victim panel, and all requirements.
Does the “dismissed” after adjudication means the case was dismissed or is it a normal process of the court - adjudication, fines/punishment, then “dismissed” to close the... Read more »
In a Florida DUI case, a defendant can’t have an adjudication of guilt and a dismissal on the same charge. It sounds like you were convicted of a DUI. It’s possible that another charge that accompanied the DUI was dismissed, such as a traffic infraction. It’s difficult to answer this... Read more »
My lawyer helped me throughout my DUI trial and told me that after I completed my ARD, paid all fines, and finished 6 months of probation without any problems, that I could apply to be let off probabtion early (sentenced to 12 months probation) and have the DUI expunged. I am at this step now and... Read more »
To answer your question, yes you can absolutely do it yourself but you have to ask yourself do you know what you are doing? If you file for expungement and if it is not correct then it would not be taken off of your record. If your pipes are leaking at home are you going to hire a plumber so it... Read more »
Opting for the ignition interlock device is a fist conviction. You should retain counsel and determine whether the charges are defendable. You cannot appeal your decision, but you may be able to withdraw a plea. You may only appeal decisions of the judge.
What are you charged with? Call an attorney in your area.
At an Early Disposition Court session, you as a defendant will be arraigned, and a plea agreement will be offered by the County Attorney. If you accept the plea agreement, sentencing will occur that day or at an EDC session. If you do not accept the offered plea agreement, you will be allowed time... Read more »
I have had 2 dui and driving on a suspended license cases in the past. Using my finger prints my FBI background check shows these cases but doesn't clearly show that these cases have ended. What type of paperwork can I ask from the court to show that these cases have concluded and that there are no... Read more »
If by closed you mean settled, each case has a disposition order, that indicates your plea (or verdict) and sentence, you may be able to get the paperwork at any courthouse, but definitely at the courthouse where the case was prosecuted. Regarding open cases, that's what the background check is... Read more »

It won't be dismissed for medical reasons, you may be found "not guilty" by a jury following a jury trial. You should contact a local DUI defense attorney to discuss your medical issues and how they can be developed into a defense.
