If you satisfactorily prove that you were not read your Miranda rights, any statement you may have made to police after you were arrested ought to be excluded from evidence at your trial. It does not affect the lawfulness of your arrest or whether you will be found guilty based on other evidence... View More
I'm a on parole if convicted my parole gets revoked. Can this get reduced down
answered on Apr 8, 2023
In KY any DUI can be reduced or dismissed if the circumstances and facts warrant it. If you have a strong defense and or the prosecutor's case is weak then yes it is possible.

My license was suspended and I have never gotten them back. Can you advise?
answered on Dec 28, 2022
I would start by going to the Dept Of Transportation website and getting a driver record. If it looks clean and you should be able to go to the drivers license branch to get a new license. If it’s not clean you can call them and they should be able to tell you what is wrong.
There is a DVO in effect, Should I be worried for an arrest ? This happened 3 days ago . Or how does a complain work ?

I got 2 duis in 60 days and my 2nd hasnt been finished in the courts yet. I blew over the limit for both. What should i expect.

You may be able to resolve them for two dui first offenses rather than a first and second. You also may be able to get minimums on each. Check with your lawyer and see if that’s possible in light of the facts of each of your dui cases.

answered on Dec 6, 2023
Being in jail 67 days does not trigger any automatic release. He has to have been in jail more than 60 days from the day his Case left district court and went to the Commonwealth attorneys office for review. If you believe that is happened, I would hire a private attorney to follow motion... View More

Hire a criminal defense lawyer immediately. If he was not intoxicated, you may have a winning case.

I’m trying to figure out what’s required for me to get my permit and license. I am 26 and never had permit before but still got charged with dui twice. Once in 2014 and the other in 2016. What do I do to take care of this?
answered on Jan 31, 2023
You should take care of your DUI cases by hiring a lawyer or by taking care of them yourself by redocketing (less advisable).
