I went to rehab and haven’t been in trouble since it happened almost 2 years ago. This is a first offense. I already took a plea deal but feel that my lawyer did not do his job correctly.
One would have to review the case file and the specific facts to properly answer this question.
Sixty days rehab completed court order

Charges: DUI and Disregarding a Traffic Light. I was visiting KY and I live in Alaska. I don't have intentions or means to return to KY but I would like to take care of this so it is no longer pending on my file. The status says that a bench warrant was issued. I'm not sure how to go... Read more »
You need to contact a Kentucky DUI attorney who can help evaluate your case. You may be able to plead guilty remotely using Zoom depending on the county, but a DUI remains on your record for 10 years. Most counties are requiring an in-person appearance for a trial now.
My mother had a vehicle that was in my name that I wanted back for my wife to drive so we traded my mother my wifes vehicle (in her name) to my mother for the vehicle that was in my name. My mother sells my wifes car to my wifes parents and her stepdad got a DUI in her vehicle. We tried to get them... Read more »
Yes. DUI, no tags, no insurance convictions.
I Keep getting a different answer when I call Frankfort. I’ve done everything asked of me. I don’t think I should have to take DUI classes here in KY for a DUI in NC. Can you help me navigate this situation?
Get your proof of class completion in NC and deliver it to the DOT in KY. You do not have to take classes in Ky if you have completed them in NC.
Just curious because I believe the law was previously 5 years for KY and it changed in 2016 in the midst of me waiting 5 years.
You can expunge 10 years from the date of conviction.
You can unless your license is pretrial suspended, which they should have told you and take license if it is.

Will be my third DUI within 10 years, I also have an immigration Case going on, also have a 83 year old adoptive mother that needs my help financially, what are my options?
Depends on the county where the DUI is but HiP on a 3rd is unlikely. Hire a competent criminal defense attorney, aggressively defend the DUI, and if you can get it amended or favorably resolved that will help tremendously with your immigration case.
Absolutely. Depending on his charges, your case may ultimately be compromised and/or thrown out.
It's a bench warrant for failure to appear I didnt no I had
No. They won’t.
This is his first offense and doesn’t even have a ticket on his record. His court date isn’t until Jan but we are already enrolled in mandatory classes. How likely would he serve Jail time?
Not likely but could depend on his BAreading and prior record.
Call my office. (502) 589-6916 if you still need a lawyer.

Told to plead guilty without any proof. And when I asked ,I was told NO! by my lawyer. Absurd but gods honest truth. Lexington.ky
Yes. You do have the right.
Advised me to plead guilty without proof of discovery, and take a deal for no restitution/ 45 day lic.susp./probation. Forged my signature on new deal for restitution/30 days jail and its been 184 days without my license
See answer to your previous question.
Pled guilty, with no proof of injury and agreed upon original plea deal went missing, and Unauthorized agreement instead, in its place.
You may want to see if there is any reason for the change. If you didn’t agree to it, you may want to ask the court to set aside the plea agreement and inquire into the unauthorized ple. Consult a lawyer before you do anything.
Dui/ passenger injured. Accepted a 2nd degree assault but misdemeanor dui.
Yes. The judge has the authority to add any conditions he deems appropriate.
