I call every week and still nothing. What do I do now? I got a lawyer and I live in a different state and I have my license too.

If you have an attorney, then that's who you need to be directing this question at. If your lawyer isn't answering your questions then you need to get another attorney.

It sounds like your Public Defender is too lazy to take the case to trial. Insist on a replacement attorney, and (if you are going to possibly do jail time) have your day in court, to plead your case. Listen to the attorney you are represented by, since most good criminal attorneys do NOT have... View More

Every jurisdiction is different. Even within the same state, different probation departments VARY greatly, in their enforcement efforts and procedures. Felony probation can have a dozen or more conditions, including a 4th Amendment waiver, wherein you give up your normal right to NOT be confronted... View More

Do you have a lawyer? That always helps. Depending on the Judge and county that can either be a great offer or you could possibly get something better from the Judge at a sentencing hearing. That's why it's important to consult with an attorney who knows the local judges and what you... View More

It could be either. Depends on several things. Need more info on the specific case to determine which it is.

The purpose of bail is to ensure one's appearance in court. It's not to punish. We are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Yeah that person can come here legally. Consult the local consulate to figure out the legal way to enter the United States.
She stayed with the car but took the keys out of the ignition and locked the vehicle. she had the keys in her purse when the police arrived but was not in the car. Can we get the dui dropped?
answered on Jun 5, 2017
Probably. Unless the officers saw her I'll bring the vehicle or she was in the driver seat when they arrived, they will not be able to meet the elements of the crime. I would recommend consulting with a local attorney such as myself. Please let me know if I can be of further help.

It will depend upon the statutory language in your jurisdiction, but usually you cannot get a DUI without a motor. You may, however, still be guilty of a public intoxication.
Convicted in ks in 2005. Completed probation. Shows on KS record. Moved to MO, doesnt show on that record. If i moved to OK, would it show on an OK driving record check?. Asking due to my current job.
answered on Apr 24, 2017
The record will remain in Kansas and depending on what and where they check it may or may not show up. Your record doesn't vary state to state, sometimes employers just don't check everywhere.

If you didn't request a hearing w/ DPS w/in 15 days of this then your license will be automatically revoked. You still have a shot of keeping your license if you did that.

You can have your probation revoked for committing another crime while on probation. Jail time is a likelihood.
I would also like if you could include the law section and title at which this info can be found, thank you

Wouldn't argue with them--under Oklahoma law they have to supervise any drinking you do. And what you drink has to be 3.2 or lower, and you can't have a significant blood alcohol level. https://alcoholpolicy.niaaa.nih.gov/APIS_State_Profile.html?state=OK
Attorney I had originally took my money and withdrew after I missed a court date because the court clerk gave me the wrong month of my court date. I had to reset bond even though their mistake, and now the only thing I can and want to do is plead guilty and take the suspended sentence. The judge... View More

Yes. But, the answer cannot come without you explaining the history of your case as well as the current facts that have led to this application to revoke. Therefore, you need to contact a local Oklahoma attorney to address these questions. TJP
