Can I get a restricted license soon for 1st offense DUI with BAC 0.24?

Answered by attorney Richard Wagner
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Office of Richard Wagner, A Professional Corporation
After 30 days from the date your license was suspended because of the DMV Hearing, you can apply for a restricted license as long as you are enrolled in a 9-month alcohol program, have an SR-22 on file with the DMV and pay the DMV all applicable reissue fees.

How should I plead to my first DUI?

Answered by attorney Eric M. Mark
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Office of Eric M. Mark
You need to speak with an attorney. Even if you pay for a consultation just to understand what you are facing and what the options are.

Was there probable cause for law enforcement to approach my parked but running car and proceed to arrest for DUI?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Lawrence Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
You have already determined that the officer did not have probable cause, why are you posting this question? Miranda rights do not need to be read to you at the scene. If you know what constitutes probable cause, then you know what your rights are. Stop pretending to be a lawyer. You were behind the wheel drunk on a cold night. What else could it be? Your sober friend drive you there. You got out of the back seat and sat in the front, while he went to purchase milk. No one is stupid. Retain an attorney.
