Police must have what lawyers call "probable cause" to arrest a citizen for a crime. Some traffic stops have been...

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,...

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 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...

Busted my head on a rock and suffered a nasty head injury, the police were called by a friend when no one could find me, the police found me and took me to the hospital and had my head treated, I signed the BAC consent form while there but honestly had no idea what I was even signing. I had drank directly after the accident and know my BAC is slightly higher. While questioning my family that were I'm the room I learned the lab tech had cleaned my withdraw site with an alcohol swab instead of iodine, I've heard this can greatly change test results. My main question is, can I be held responsible for signing that consent with my head injury?

It sounds as if you have some valid defenses to the DUI charge. A DUI charge has to be based on alcohol you consume...
