Santa Barbara Law

Like a schizophrenic got a DUI, lost hes license and is ordered to attend AA. But the schizophrenic cant take the bus because he doesn't want to be in danger or harm someone.
Not taking the bus due to psychiatric illness does not eliminate all means of complying with the court order.
I know that you must disclose for law enforcement jobs and where applicable.
To the extent they are both aware of and follow California law and that they define themselves as an "investigative...
I received my first DUI about a month ago. I just received my BAC results of .19. I am under the age of 21 and unfortunately got into a car accident. I was the only person involved in the accident. I requested a DMV hearing and was able to extend my license until the hearing date. However, I'm curious as to how difficult it will be to be able to obtain a restricted license to and from work? I'm currently living on my own and working to pay for my college tuition. Also, what are the other likely consequences and fines I'll be facing?
You're certainly in a tough spot. You did a good job requesting a hearing. I hope you've continued that by looking...
I am going to apply to a university soon and seek employment in a dental office after college. Are my past charges completely gone off of my record, or will a college admissions board and employer be able to see these charges on my record?
Relief pursuant to section 1203.4 of the Penal Code does not erase convictions from records. Rather, they involve a...
I blew under the limit and the DAs office dropped the charges against me for a first time offense DUI with no record. Will I need a lawyer to expunge the arrest? How long will the process take? Since charges were filed, it looks like I cannot expunge through the police dept. The judge didn't do anything for the expungement and the DUI charges were actually lowered to an infraction. I was very fortunate and now would like to move on with life without this arrest. I appreciate all the help.
You would need to file for a factual innocence. If you could prove you were innocent than the court would order the...
I was arrested in Van Nuys on suspicion of DUI. I asked for a blood test, so I was immediately placed under arrest. On my DMV temporary license the box ix marked 0.08% or higher, but I don't know the actual BAC. I stopped by the CHP today to request my arrest report and they told me I need a public defender to access it sooner than 2 weeks from now. My court date is 3 weeks from today, so when do I speak with a public defender? Do I need to register? I have no priors, but its obvious I will be convicted so I really don't see the point unless I was 0.08 or 0.09, in which case I would consider a lawyer. But I need to know soon so I can make a decision.
Talk to a DUI lawyer and give him your facts. Most of them do not charge for an initial consultation. Afterwards, you...
I blew well under a .08 and it seemed like the officer debating whether to arrest me. Long story short, I got arrested and my license was not suspended by the DMV since I blew under .08. A lot has to be taken into consideration, including all the small and big facts but I think I have a good shot at a case dismissal, first dui, clean record. Would I be told after the arraignment or at the arraignment if say the case does get dismissed? Also, can the prosecutor call witnesses into court without my approval or my attorneys approval? What kind of questions might the witnesses be asked? I'm concerned since I do not have a good relationship with the people I was with that night. I might need to ask the court for more time to locate a good attorney too. Thanks for your help
The prosecutor does not need your approval to call witnesses to testify against you. Technically speaking, your own...
