Legal Answers
- Q. How do I correct an incorrect criminal record in Maine?
- A: You will want to contact a lawyer who defends drug trafficking cases. If the prior convictions are alleged incorrectly, the lawyer can obtain the court files and move to strike the incorrect priors alleged in the Indictment.
- Q. Can I keep a no trespassing order after dropping criminal mischief charge?
- A: A no trespass order is separate from a criminal charge in court. It would remain in effect even if the criminal charge is dismissed. Typically, a no trespass order is effective for one year. You should contact the DA's office about your concerns with the trial and proceeding on the criminal case.
- Q. Is completing DEEP, IOP, and sessions enough for OUI license reinstatement in Maine?
- A: In order to be reinstated, you need serve the suspension period, complete DEEP and any recommended counseling, and pay a $50 reinstatement fee to the BMV. It sounds like you have completed everything and need to pay the reinstatement fee. You can pay the reinstatement fee online at: https://apps1.web.maine.gov/cgi-bin/online/bmv/dlrf/pi
