Legal Answers
- Q. I got arrested for possession of a forged instrument. I was given a desk appearance ticket. I was driving a vehicle with
- A: It may be possible to get the charge reduced, however it may depend on on what your prior conviction was for. If it was for something similar, the possibility for a significant reduction in the charge may diminish. You should speak to an attorney ASAP to discuss the case in more detail, so a better assessment of your case can be made.
- Q. I was charged with dwi and refused to a chemical test and released on 180/80. Dmv hearing judge granted my driving
- A: The criminal charges are separate from the DMV refusal case. You will still need to deal with the criminal case, but depending on how the DMV case goes, you might get some testimony at the DMV that helps in the criminal case. Did the DMV judge give you your license back due to the officer not appearing on the first hearing date, or because the judge found that there wasn't a refusal? You should speak to your attorney directly about what's happening. If you do not have an attorney, you need to hire one immediately to fight this case for you.
- Q. If a person has ben charged and sentenced for felony dwi and put on probation the violates probation can they be charge
- A: A person on probation cannot be charged again for the same DWI, because they already plead guilty. However, someone on probation can be charged with a violation of probation. A violation of probation, if proven, would subject the person to a sentence up to the maximum for the charge that they are on probation for. On an E felony, the max would be 1 1/3 to 4 years in prison. Speak to an attorney in your county about this. Good luck.
