Unfortunately, he will probably get arrested again and his bond will be revoked. Also, if no alcohol is a condition of his pretrial release he may have bond revoked. Good luck.

Yes, go change your license to Indiana sooner than later. The court should not suspend your license until the initial hearing, therefore the BMV should not know of the offense. If you do not change your license, and are convicted Illinois will suspend/revoke your license and it will be... View More

1. In any criminal matter, you have the right to see if you qualify for court... View More

I don't really understand exactly what you are asking. Did you enter a plea of guilty? Is the charge still pending?

He should retain a criminal defense attorney. The prosecutor has to meet the burden of the charge or the charge should be dismissed. If the prosecutor believes the prosecution can meet the burden with the evidence they have, then you may need to take the case to trial to let the Court decide.

In most DWI sentences, the defendant does about 50% of the sentence time. This number varies from many different factors, and the officials and programs, the defendant completes. If you can get qualified for a "sober house" or similar program, you can be out of jail in less than 50% of... View More

The best time to raise issues is before the trial with motions, or during the trial when the issues can be fixed. If you represented yourself the likelihood of preserving a legal issue for appeal...

The Judge could give the prosecutor more time if he or she asks for it and he or she has a good reason for asking for it.
Someone advised me that the NJ AG made it clear that “operate” means in forward motion. Which from my understanding would exclude parked vehicles and vehicles running but not in motion.
answered on Jul 25, 2023
Even if the AG made this clear its up to a judge to determine and unfortunately the courts have made operation not just actual operation but go by whether the person had the ability to operate the vehicle in general. If your charged with a DWI or DUI get a good lawyer as the laws are against you... View More

The chances of jail time for multiple DWIs in Missouri vary based on individual circumstances, such as the case details and prior criminal history. Having multiple DWIs in a short time may lead to harsher penalties. A third DWI offense can result in substantial jail time.

Driving with a suspended license and no insurance can bring more penalties. Child endangerment charges, especially with a child in the vehicle during the DUI, can lead to even harsher consequences.

He needs to hire a competent attorney to represent him on the DUI. And he probably needs to contact DOS and see what is going on with his TNDL. For some reason he does not appear to have a valid DL.

If asked for a plea, then plea not guilty. He needs to hire an attorney to represent him, not a PD.
