Legal Answers
- 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
Once everything is completed, the BMV will mail your license back to you. You can also call the BMV OUI Division (207) 624-9000 ext. 52104 and ask what you need to do to be reinstated.
