What can I expect when I return to court for a violation of probation for a DUI?

Answered by attorney William Saul Kroger (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at William S. Kroger Jr.
It really depends on what the violation was for. If you didn't enroll in your class, you could be subject to additional penalties. If you didn't pay the fine, they could penalize you additionally for that. They could remand you into custody. There are a lot of possibilities but to minimize what could happen, you need an attorney with you.

What can do if I was arrested September 22nd for first time misdemeanor DUI and had a bac level of .16?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Get around? Meaning no offense, but there is no magic wand to wave and make criminal charges go away. You get to defend them as best you can. 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, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate. Contact you local Lawyer Referral Service or local county Bar Association for names of criminal defense attorneys.

Can I expunge my Department of Motor Vehicles findings and remove my DUI from my driving record for employment purposes in California?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Some CA convictions can be 'expunged' from court criminal records by proper application and Petition to the court. Sounds like yours may qualify. If successful, the conviction would be withdrawn and the charges dismissed. Expungement does NOT clear, 'remove', erase or disappear the conviction, but does change the record to show an arrest with 'conviction reversed and charges dismissed by expungement'. The conviction is still a 'prior' or 'strike' for purposes of repeat offenses. That record is accessible to government agencies, law enforcement, courts, background checks, insurance companies, etc. Expungement will help in obtaining employment. When applying for a job in the private sector, in response to any question concerning your prior criminal record, you may legally deny that you were arrested or convicted of the offense.
