If the Medical Advisory Board has ordered the interlock... View More

It depends on the judge. Some judges will convert your probation to unsupervised. Other judges will make you stay on supervised probation the entire time. I would not expect the judge to completely end your probation early for a DUI, but unsupervised probation means you do not have to report or pay... View More

Unless you made incriminating statements, there’s nothing to suppress. Review the evidence in the case with your lawyer. If there’s a basis to file a motion, then it can be filed.

First, you should have a lawyer for a DUI. Judges take these cases very seriously especially for a refusal. It is a 12 point ticket that carries a year jail plus possible enhanced penalties for a refusal.

All attorneys set their own fees. You would need to inquire to different lawyers what their fees would be. You should be aware that an appeal (Petition for Judicial Review) is on the record and the decision will be affirmed if there was substantial evidence to support the decision.

Most people are taken into custody at the scene if they are suspected of a DUI. In some cases, the police officer or hospital takes blood from the suspect who is charged once the results come back.

If citations were issued, then you have been charged and the statute of... View More
