I doubt anyone here would remember or even have the outdated books to tell you. I would think your best bet would be to call MVC if you had a surcharge from back in the day
Just a simple question.

You can only fight it with a lawyer and not many defenses exist at all. The Maximum sentence is 18 months in jail and the minimum is 6 months jail. If you get really lucky and have really good facts and your in an easier county such as Essex you may just get lucky and be able to get PTI which... View More

Well the answer depends on many factors one would be to get to your property did you drive on public property? Generally that is a yes, so yes you could be arrested for DUI. Either way you need a lawyer, call one of us DWI/DUI lawyers most of us offer free in office consultations.
I fulfilled that obligation back then. If I didn't I would have received a court appearance notice, so I need help if anyone can answer this question. Really 29 yrs, insane. Thank you.

Unless the DWI was part of a criminal case I have never had a client tell me it has affected them from getting a loan except for a car.

The penalty for driving under the influence of prescribed medication is the same penalty as it is for driving under the influence of alcohol except that the minimum loss of license is for 7 months not 3.

Even if you blew the limit if you are convicted it is an automatic loss of license if you lose your case.

You would need to read your insurance policy to see exactly what is and what is not covered every policy is different although some common rules are present which generally prevent purposeful acts or acts against the law.

Yes it is possible for a first-time offender to go to jail however generally you need some exceptional circumstances such as a high reading or accident. The best way to assure that you will avoid jail is by hiring the best lawyer you can afford.

You can get a DWI but the question is can they prove intent to operate the vehicle.

Unfortunately the answer is no, that's why you need to hire the best lawyer to give yourself the best chance of winning the DWI charge or at least reducing the suspension time.

Yes but you will be considered uncooperative and if you refuse to take the alcotest you will get a refusal charge. Thus its generally never smart to refuse.
fell asleep. A cop later tapped on my windshield, probably smelled alcohol on my breath, and arrested me for DUI. I wasn't driving though. Can they do this?
answered on Aug 22, 2018
You have a defense but it's difficult and depends on many other factors such as weather, time, engine on and hot etc... Even if not driving they can prove intent to operate based on the facts but generally this is a good defense so you should definitely hire an attorney in this field who knows... View More
