You don't provide nearly enough information to intelligently answer what you might be facing when you are sentenced. There is no information here about what the charge was or what your criminal history is relative to your potential sentence. Courts have certainly been processing in custody... View More

It's been six months since he missed court. The likelihood that the warrants would be dismissed under the circumstances without him at least having to turn himself in is non-existent. He would need to be held for an appearance before a judge so that conditions of release could be set. He... View More

They can hold him until he appears in front of a judge to address his conditions of release.

No, you will not get cited for DWI if you haven’t beeN drinking. You aren’t breaking the law.

That is between you and the interlock company. The costs of the interlock service is not something that the government has any control over. Your best bet would be to contact the interlock company and attempt to negotiate with them. Good luck!

There should be other identifying information on the report such as the date and time the test was taken, where the test was taken, if not the name of the subject - then the DL # for the subject who provided the test. Additionally, many would have video surveillance of the area where the test was... View More

The test at the station controls charging for the most part. You may ultimately not be charged with a DWI if you were below the legal limit on the Datamaster test. But there could be other offenses that might be applicable under the circumstances depending on the reasons that you were pulled over.

Yes. If you had the keys you were likely in physical control of the vehicle. But that doesn’t mean that you will be found guilty or get a conviction on your record. Get an attorney to help you.

Public defenders don't "make things up" to get people to take plea deals. They give honest advice on what they believe you should do in terms of taking an agreement or going to trial. It is then up to you decide how you want to move forward. You could certainly seek to withdraw... View More

That's impossible to answer for certain without details. A question like this is very fact-specific and can't be answered with so little information.

It’s unclear what you are charged with or what the video is supposed to depict. You need to be represented if you are charged with a crime. Get an attorney.

You need to get an attorney on board ASAP. It is unclear where your case is procedurally. Did you admit to the probation violation and fail to turn yourself in? Is there this a warrant for a probation violation and the recommendation from probation is that you serve 30 days in jail? This is all... View More

You typically cannot file a removal request once the judge in your case has made substantive decisions in your case. Ultimately, you have a right to appeal the Court's decision on appeal if you lose the case. FYI, the fact that someone is described as an "assistant public defender"... View More

If you have lived in WI for 8 years, you should have long ago gotten a WI license. But that is a separate issue. WI will suspend your privilege to drive in WI. MN will then honor that suspension. So your MN license will get revoked. You will have to go through the process of getting your... View More

I have seen many cases where a person was arrested for DUI even though the police officer did not observe driving. And I've won many of those cases after working hard on motions to dismiss and rescind. The two most common scenarios are (1) a person suspected to have been driving a disabled... View More

As I mentioned in my other answer to your similar question, that case would be weaker than the normal case where the police officer did observe driving, operating or control of a motor vehicle. In addition, it's common for people to drink at home, after driving. That is a defense to a DWI... View More

Most DWI arrests follow a traffic stop by police. But not all. Some few follow a police contact at the arrested person's home. And some follow events that do not include police observation of driving. However, often DWI cases where the police do not observe driving, operating or control... View More

When a probation officer alleges that a probationer violated a condition of a stayed sentence, he or she can ask a judge to sign an Arrest and Detain Order. This is the functional equivalent to an Arrest Warrant. The main purpose of either is to get the named person into custody. A secondary... View More

I’m assuming you mean reinstate your driver’s license. The best way to find out your exact requirements is to report to the DMV next week. They can give you all particular information you need.

You will need to handle the charge. Waiting will just result in getting arrested. You will likely face additional penalties because of the warrant.
