Grosse Pointe Crime

I have about 1,000 to pay off probation and to get my license back is so important. I still owe the state of Michigan over 1,000 and they take my tax refunds. Lawyers here want close to 3,500 just to represent me. I don't know what to do...

Getting your license reinstated seems like a priority. Good luck. Jasen Nielsen

Charged with impaired over 80 in Canada but im a us citizen. (this will be my second offense)

An attorney being admitted to practice in Canada and the US is not that common, and in particular within the criminal...

Six months ago, I posted this question, http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/how-long-for-dui-blood-test-results-in-michigan--638832.html on this website regarding the length of time for blood test results from a dui detainment to come in. At that time, despite having blown a .05, I was still taken to a hospital for a blood draw, booked, finger printed and released without formal charges. Two weeks ago, I received a an evelope from the police department returning my driver's lic. and stating that my blood test results had come in .04, with no presence of drugs(not surpring, as I don't take any at all, not even prescription pharmaceuticals). Yesterday however, I got a summons stating I had been charged with an OWVI, 13 months after the daetainment. I am looking to hire an attorney

If the prosecuting agency is charging you with Operating While Visibly Impaired (OWVI), then you need to speak with a...

I hired an attorney in 2008 to the tune of 20,000. He was paid 10,000 upfront by my mom and appeared 3 times to court. I had a hard time paying the balance and he went behind my back and motion to withdraw from my case. I did not know about the court date until after the fact by email that "he had withdrew and there was a bench warrant out for my arrest" I had an excellent case with some errors and loopholes. I was abandoned without proper legal representation. I was given a court appointed attorney and my case fell apart. Lack of proper information and guidance etc I was left between a rock and a hard place. Now 4 yrs later......upon reflection this does not sit right with me as my medical career is essentially ruined. he kept my 10.000. Any recourse?

It's doubtful you have any recourse. The lawyer is a) entitled to a fee for his work, and b) provided he follows the...

Hello. I was arrested for 2nd DUI in sep. 2011, turned myself in feb. 2013. I was living out of state for a period of time in Indiana. Needless to say, i was placed on sobriety court. Ive been working on staying sober for 9 months now (5 on paper, as far as sob. court is concerned) Anyway, i had my first violation, FIRST. the judge i go infront has it out for people with DUI's, he was going to imediatly throw me away for 93 days, in clare county jail. Anyway, i decided for myself, that this program truly isnt out for my best interest, its my first relapse in 9 months, that was my first violation. Im about to recieve a failure to appear most likely, and get a "Contempt" charge. My question is, when i turn myself in, can i do 90 days for the original DUI, AND Contempt, or is it ran concurren

I would not suggest dealing with this yourself. Hiring a locally experienced DUI attorney will give you the best chance...

Medical eval & intervention for other illnesses (such as undiagonosed Adult ADHD) could be successful and help avoid repeat offenders. Extenuating circumstances need to be considered instead of the ruination of a family, a life, of holding onto a job or any chance of affording appropriate medical help..in so many cases assumptions are made and bored court paid defenders are just showing up with no intention of doing anything other then the bare minimum. Only the wealthy can afford the expensive legal defense to bypass the status quo.

This appears to be more of a rant resulting from frustration than a true question. Regardless, most states require...

I paid the tickets but my concern is: Will WI send these charges over to MI?

They might not send it over if they are not compact states. But you may encounter a problem when you attempt to renew...
