Can I receive credit for time served on criminal convictions towards old traffic fines?

Mark A. Broughton
Answered by attorney Mark A. Broughton (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Mark A. Broughton, PC
The credit you earn must be on the same case on which you were arrested. You can't get credit in one case for custody time you served in another, unless you were serving time on both concurrently.

Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
If he has been paid in full for a trial he should refund what ever portion of the money has not been earned or continue to represent him. The court does not have to let him withdraw if he has been paid.
