Legal Answers
- Q. Had a DUI accident a 1yr ago, did a BAC test, and got charged with DUI and Vehicular Assault but haven't been convicted
- A: You say that you have an attorney so ask that attorney what is happening because he/she will have access to all of the potential evidence. It sounds like there is a blood test that is being processed by the State Tox lab and that takes a long time sometimes so the State is waiting to see what the results are. Good Luck and talk to your attorney or hire a new one
- Q. I was arrested for DUI but wasn't driving. I was passenger and am facing charges. What happens now?
- A: You have to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you in this matter. They have to prove you were driving.
- Q. What are the specific parameters needed to be considered in physical control of a vehicle?
- A: One of the most important issues is where was the car/vehicle parked. Was it safety off the roadway?
You need an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you. Make sure you have one.
