Apparently you have already confessed to driving. So a strong DUI charge has been made. A good lawyer may find other problems though, which is his job. Prepare for a thorough Preliminary Hearing, and stay out of trouble.
Do a plea deal and they do it anyways does that violate victim rights

As far as dui school, you ask them for the certificate. For Court costs and fines, you get a receipt from the clerk or a statement. Community Service also gives you a certificate or statement. You will need to approach each outfit yourself for help. Sometimes DOS can be very picky about what... View More

DOS issues the TNDL, so you have to do what they say.

Probably Costs and Fines have to be paid, not Restitution, prior to eligibility for
Reinstatement. Numerous Sentencing requirements must usually be satisfied. You will have to examine your Judgment on the Warrant or Conviction to find specific requirements, and then meet them. Also... View More

Husband will probably not be charged with VOP as the Court and/or Probation Officer will usually not find out about another State's Misdemeanor charges. It is possible however, and if it happens of course his lawyer can argue it happened prior to the Probation Sentence running. Inform his... View More

Hire a competent attorney now. TN has always held if you are capable of driving, whether you physically are or not, then DUI can be charged. If you had any intoxicants in your system, then what you did was a crime. But the State still has to prove it and without a chemical test, it will be a... View More

To my knowledge a DUI Conviction does not affect such employment. If you have some sort of License, and there is a complaint, you might have to deal with that Regulatory Agency.. Tennessee is a Terminate At Will State anyway.

It is a Class E Felony and at least 150 days in jail, with a $ 3K Fine. Hire a competent attorney. You may not have much to lose by trying it. Reducing it to a non felony 3rd offense might be the best solution.

A TN DUI Conviction cannot be expunged. Sometimes a good lawyer can mitigate the consequences of a bad background.

The mandatory minimum is 45 days in jail. You did not state the Sentence, but sometimes a lengthier Sentence can include in house rehabilitation, and possibly other things. Going home is not an option however. He should have thought about the Sentence when the Judge was considering it.

Not sure of your question. You might call the Court Clerk about the remaining fines/costs owing, especially jail costs.

You get the Paid In Full Receipts from the Court Clerk wherever you were convicted of DUI. It help[s to go there in person with your Docket Numbers. Call the Court Clerk first to make sure you have the right Court. Older Convictions can take longer than recent ones.
I have been incarcerated for 24 years, and noticed the DOS states they wanted me to pay $240 reinstatement fees and go to DUI school. Just paid the $240, but I am told I may not need to go to DUI school since it was so long ago.

You can apply for the TNDL, but when they deny it, ask why. DUI School Certificate will probably be required, especially since DOS has already demanded it. DOS issues the license, not the Courts.
Second question: Why do I have a Tennessee DL/ ID Number if I've never lived in that state?
I received my conviction there however, this doesn't make any sense. I have paid the courts and completed all requirements for my conviction. I also paid a reinstatement fee to the state... View More

I am not sure of your problem. But you will have to take this up with the Department of Safety, which you apparently have just touched the surface of. Hire a competent attorney to look into this. It does not appear you will be able to do this without counsel, all needed documents and whatever... View More

It is definitely possible. You might get Diverted. It would help if it wan an illegal stop involved. Hire an attorney as that will be on your record.
But still have Fines to pay. I don't have a vehicle but plan to get one soon and get my license reinstated.

If you were convicted of DUI, usually the only way to get a TNDL until the entire Sentence is completed and paid, is to apply for the Interlock Device. If you do not have an attorney, then you might ask the Court Clerk to assist you in applying for the Judge's Order. Then you have to... View More
