Will I have jail time for a possible charge for driving while suspended?

Gregory Casale
Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
Unless it is a subsequent offense or your license was suspended for an OUI, you should not get jail time. If it was either a subsequent offense or your license was suspended for OUI, yes, you certainly can be sent to jail.

Can my son get his DUI dismissed since he didn't take the breath test?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Get his DUI dismissed since he didn't take the breath test? NO. That refusal got him an automatic suspension of his license by DMV, in addition to whatever the court does. My observations for you son: You can be charged solely on the basis of the officer's observation, just like any criminal or traffic offense. You also committed 'contempt of cop' by the refusal. You will be surprised to find how detailed the police report is concerning your observed inebriated and impaired condition. A little free advice: When arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking the defendant is given documents that include a notice that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of your license imposed by DMV upon your arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by the DMV, or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at tne scheduled DMV appeal hearing and present any supporting evidence and testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or confession be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.
