I was sentenced to 12 months incarceration, but that sentence was suspended and I was placed on 12 months home confinement. This was a first offense DUI causing injury. I have no prior criminal record, not even a speeding ticket. I know I have to serve at least 50% of my sentence, but is there a more appropriate time to petition for early release so as to be more successful in my petition? Also, is there an appropriate set of circumstances for which to mention to the judge? So far in my sentence, I have not violated the terms of my home confinement, nor do I plan to, haven't failed a drug test (don't use drugs), nor do I plan to, and have created a good relationship with the officers in Alternative Sentencing. I just want to make sure I can make the best case possible for an early release.

You need to hire a competent criminal defense attorney in your area to file a post judgment relief motion, or a motion...

I received around $2500 in court fees and fines, and a jail sentence of 21 days in August of last year. My fees/fines are due 2/11/2013. Since my release from jail I've lost my job, and have been looking ever since. I recently moved in with some friends close to town to increase the likely hood of finding a job, although it is still very hard due to my lack of a drivers license. I've had a couple of interviews, but I've failed the background check every time. I'm expecting a little over $1000 in tax refunds and plan to use all of it to make a payment on my fines. Considering this, what can I expect when I go to court on the 11th of next month? Is there any way I can avoid jail time?

In my experience, courts appreciate being told of difficulties early. First opportunity, schedule an appearance before...

The story - Had 3 beers and shared a little margarita over the course of two plus hours.Took my friend home and as i pulled into the driveway I was bluelighted. Told I failed to come to a complete stop at the sop sign (which as memory serves I very much did) and failure to use turn signal (which I didnt (it was residential)). Told me my eyes looked glossy, asked me to step out...and lets do a field sobriety test. I (regrettably) told him I believed the test to be waste due to his biased opinion but complied. Afterwards backup officer is holding the blow test and I say "id rather just take a blood test". Instantly cuffed. Coulnt afford to pay for blood test so I submit to the blow test at the station and blow .063, finest 12 hours in my life followed. I have no record, and no money. Advice?

You are likely eligible for a public defender. However, you would be better off with private counsel. Regardless,...

The procecuter was tell the judge this. Even thou the person on trial knew this was their 3rd offense.

It appears as though there are some facts missing here. Although it is entirely possible to have multiple DUI arrests...

drug test says I had 500 ng/l oxycodone (prescribed 6 30 mg per day) and 40 ng/ml Xanax (prescribed 1mg x2 a day) and it also said I had amphetamine which I suppose is like adhd medicine but I do not take that so I don't know why it showed up. the amphetamine did not register how many ng/ml there was. would it be possible to get it amended to a lesser charge?

You should hire an experienced DUI lawyer to represent you in this case. Unless you have a prescription for...

The accident was a fender bender with no paint scratch. I got the second dui this year also. The other day when I got my 3rd it was aggravated while during this probational period. My 2nd dui, I served 13 days in lieu of 6 months. Can that be added on to my next sentence or be enhanced to a felony because of the second dui this year?

A DUI charge can only be charged as a felony if you have 3 prior convictions PRIOR to the 4th charge. Any probated or...
