DUI Lawyer

Can this innocent man get out of DUI?

My friend’s husband was charged with DUI, but he was NOT drinking.
She said his BAC level was 0.16%, and BAC limit in California is 0.08%.
He just had his tooth taken out the day before, and he was taking antibiotics. I don’t know if that has anything to with it, though. Do antibiotics affect breathalyzer ??
She also told me that he has a liver problem.
I talked to a person who works at a police station, and she said he just have to tell the judge he was on antibiotics.
She talked to a lawyer, but he said that it’s better if he just takes the charge because it is time consuming, costs a lot of money and is going to be hard to win the case.
Is it possible he can get out of this?
Thank you for reading.

My friend got his 2nd DUI within 3 years. His job req’s driving,would he be able to get a restricted license?

Is jail time mandatory or can it be waived if he is already getting after work treatment and is the only provider for his wife and two kids? (Please no negative judgement feedback) I would like to help his wife and kids as much as I can. His wife cannot work due to high cost babysitting fees and is waiting until they can be in public school. Also, if he cannot afford a lawyer, would a DA really help?

The situation was sad too because he past his sobriety test when pulled over (he was pulled over originally because he didnt have a license plate on the front of his car) and they told him he didnt have to take the breathalizer, but they still made him take it. Is that against the law? He was out getting food for the kids, because the wife was caring for her sick baby and his alc. level was .11.

A friend of mine was charged with a DUI in Florida?

My friend was on the way home and was pulled over for speeding. The cop suspected she was drinking and told her to do a field sobriety test. She did have two beers. Anyways, he had her walk in a straight line (which was not the problem) and stand on one foot and hop around (which was the problem) and I don’t even think the hopping around is part of a sobriety test.

She told the officer that she is scheduled for foot surgery on Tuesday and that she could not do this. Her feet are very disformed and she was also in a very severe automobile accident that almost cost her her life and now is medically retired from the Army.

She asked them to do a breathalyzer but they said they couldn’t do one until they got back to the station. They arrested her and then when she took her breathalyzer she was only .04 and the legal limit is .08. They had her do it three times because they weren’t satistied with a .04. She had to stay in jail for 8 hours and they had her car impounded eventhough her boyfriend was there (they wouldn’t let him drive).

So now she is paying for a lawyer, the towing charge, and the impound charge.

Do you have any advice? Is it right to arrest someone based solely on a field sobriety test?

What strategy will hasten the credit building process for an authorized user on an Amex gold card?

My bro added me as an authorized user on his amex gold card so i can build up credit. I was wondering what is the best strategy to take with this card seeing that it is not a revolving account but rather an open account. I have confirmed that the card can be used as a vehicle to build credit, . I have also been dutiful in paying off recent derogatory accounts, on top of that i have disputed inacurate info(pending decission) but i have one account that i reached a settlement agreement with the collections agent but reneged on it. Now my second question is 2 fold. 1. Since i have paid off charged off accts is that good or bad because accordinf to a report of positive thing on my credit, those charged off account appeared. And 2. Does settling help and does reneging on a settlement give the collection agency the right to rereport the debt on my credit. And just out of curiosity has anyone out here raised their credit score 200+ in a span of three months?

Any and all help is welcome

I am going to prison for my fourth DUI in CA within 10 years?

Please no comments about the fact that I should go to prison etc…

I have consulted with a coupe attorneys all of whom charge around the same fee (3500). I have 2 prior convictions and a recent charge (2 days ago) and warrant for a DUI that happened 3 years ago. I am super nervous for various reasons. The lawyers that I have talked thus far have either made it seem way to easy to deal with and others have made it seem like prison is a dead in lock.
I just do not know what lawyer to go with the one that makes it seem like I have a fighting chance or the one that said they will try to get me the minimum state prison sentence. I know with out looking at all the cases it is hard to tell, but I am looking for a general likely outcome for this type of scenario. I live in CA and have 2 prior convtions and two pending cases all for DUI.

Does PA DUI program still allow for temporary drivers license?

I know PA changed there laws lately. I checked Penn DOT webpage and they mention nothing about it. My dad got a second DUI 7 years appart and needs a temp drivers permit for work. He was told by everyone in prison they now longer allow it and his lawyer didn’t exactly say they do either but, he did say he’ll be happy to apply for one for an extra fee. Can he get a temp permit and will he have to get that blow thing installed in his car if he does.

first DUI,otherwise clean record, how to plea in court?

This much I know…3 months suspension, court fees, alcohol classes, and community service-lots of it!
I also know I can get a public defender. But I question as to why I should really bother? I really dont see where he can help me any, as Im going to get these things Ive already mentioned no matter what.
I dont wish to waste anyones time with somthing that wont matter anyway.
Now I know I will be doing somthing called diversion…which will sort of clean up my record after a year. When I go to court, do I please guilty? One lawyer said plead not guilty, and I cant see any reason for that….the proof is clean and clear!
It just seems stupid to me to lie in court! I just want this over with, do my “time”, and get this behind me!
Honestly, would getting a public defender, or pleading not guilty change anything? I doubt it, but thought I would ask.

Irish speakers please! At the end of her reply one of the contributors added the sentence-”Dia’s Muire duit.Ta

Gaelge agam cinnte.Is teanga ailinn i,agus taim broduil ara gur Gaeilgeoir me”
I don’t speak Irish,but,from recognising one or two words,and,trying a bit of educated guesswork for the rest, Iv’e translated it as “God and Mary bless you.I do indeed have Gaelic.It is a beautiful language,and I am proud to say that I am a Gael(ic speaker?)”
Am I correct,and if not.what did I get wrong,and what is the correct translation?

Dia Duit, Conas Ata Tu Roc Agus Popcheol?

In case your wondering, that’s Irish for “Hello, how are you Rock & Pop”.

Anyway as a proud Irish citizen I’d thought I’d share an up and coming Irish band with you to see what you think. They’re called Fight Like Apes and have so far only released one full-length album called Fight Like Apes And The Mystery Of The Golden Medallion. I bought it a few weeks ago and I think it’s great.

Fire Lawyer and hire Public Defender?

I was charged with a DUI and leaving after colliding. I agreed to pay a lawyer 5000 to go to trial (which he thought was best) At the pretrial they offered me a Plea Bargain. Plead guilty to the DUI and they’ll drop the hit and run. My lawyer refused but says the offer is still available. I am paying him $500 a month. 3500 is the fee but there will be an extra 1500 to go to trial. I do not want to go to trial because I am guilty and I will lose (my lawyer said a witness came forth and bascially there is no chance of winning) But he continues to push a trial date back (i think its so that I can pay the extra 1500) while waiting to accept the bargain. I just want to accept the bargain now and avoid going to trial. I want to just pay him the 3500 not an extra 1500 for a trial he and I know I will lose….Advice Please If I fire him will the Plea still be available????

My Mom Stole Money From Me and…..?

Im really upset about it. My mom told me today that she “borrowed” $300 (but 1st she lied, saying she only took $125, but i noticed a lot more was missing so she fessed up). She said she needs it to pay her bills (she has to pay all these lawyers for divorce fees and dui hearings). She claims she will pay me back next payday, but i know she wont, and meanwhile, i hardly have any money left (i dont have a job at the time, im 17 years old). I got all upset about it and started crying and she started yelling at me. I was like wtf??? Dont i have a reason to be mad? Wasnt that wrong of her? How can i make sure i get my money back?

Should a lawyer who prosecuted DUIs and DWIs of known better ?

A DuPage County prosecutor killed in a drunken driving crash was traveling more than 80 mph and possibly using her cell phone seconds before her government-issued car struck another vehicle head-on, authorities said Friday.

A 33-page police report also indicated that Jane Radostits had been drinking before the May 11 crash during a long lunch at an Oak Brook restaurant with seven other prosecutors and another office staffer.

Lab results released last week showed that Radostits, 46, had a blood-alcohol level of .25 percent — three times the level at which a motorist is considered drunk.
been drinking before the May 11 crash during a long lunch at an Oak Brook restaurant with seven other prosecutors and another office staffer.
Aren’t these people as prosecutors required to uphold laws if they are able to prosecute? Do they not also prosecute people who fail to keep people from harming others? People who see someone who is obviously a danger to society are required to do something to stop them. Officers of the court would have more guilt than the normal citizen. They others need to arrested for inaction..25 BAC for a 150lb woman is at least 24 beers in a 3 to 5 hour period. Few people are even capable of drinking even close to that much without passing out first. Standing would be next to impossible. Meanwhile she’s out speeding and chit chatting..a holier than though prosecutor responsible for putting “bad” people behind bars. I wonder how many .08 DUI people (4 beers) she prosecuted. This was one hardcore career alcoholic.
“This does not diminish all her good work, Jane was a dedicated prosecutor who removed many dangerous drivers from our roadways,” said Charlene Chapman, executive director of the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists.

Fate works in mysterious ways.

DUI Cops, attorneys and judges should all lead by example, and have their business and personal cars wired with interlock devices, and must blow into a machine each time they start their cars.The truly amazing thing about this story is it makes absolutely no sense. From all accounts, this woman was a top prosecuting attorney- one of the best. She was a very hard worker who was on her way to becoming a judge.She also appears to be a fantastic person with a great sense of humor who everyone at the office loved. Her boss says there was no indication of any drinking problem. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, this highly motivated, intelligent woman downed enough drinks to put her three times over the legal limit- and not one of nine people from the prosecutor’s office noticed she was the least bit impaired. It makes no sense at all. It defies comprehension.
There’s a piece of the puzzle missing. There’s something we don’t know. There’s something they’re hiding.
What gets me in this story is what some of us have seen while sitting in a jury box. A hypocrite hardcore alcoholic prosecutor like her, preaching obscene lies to a jury how the 3 beer drinker is a dangerous menace to society, the devil incarnate, driving around speeding in a lethal weapon, threatening to kill us all. Then you go in the back room and the guy in the video is stone cold sober, because 3 beers is sober. His legal fees are 15K, he stands to lose his job and his life.
I always wondered how the prosecutors could be so ruthless, knowing they are pushing blatant lies, and not giving a moments thought to the fact they are trying to destroy someone’s life, all for a day’s pay. Perhaps Freud would look deeper in this case; she’s trying to relieve herself of some of the guilt she feels for being a hardcore alcoholic who drives twice the legal BAC limit on a daily basis; she’s trying to save us all from someone becoming what she is. Or, maybe she just prosecutes bombed.

How does one say “Happy Brithday” in Irish/Gaelic?

I was wondering how one said Happy Birthday, or the equivalent, in Irish Gaelic. I found the following information online, but I wasn’t sure if it was accurate/correct as far as pronunciation. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

PHRASE:Breith lá Sona Duit!
PRONOUNCED:breht law sunna dwit!
MEANING:Happy birthday to you!

Cross word “Dutiful and hard-working(13)?

POLL: BEAUTIFUL OR DUTIFUL!!!?

How do I “be myself” when I have many selves?

I’m outgoing and wild in public, reclusive and contemplative in private, dutiful and timid with my family, and hard-***ed and perfectionistic in my work. How do I be myself when I’m all of these different people?

My lawyer said everything will be cleared & forgot to mention to me having to file an sr-22, is this malpracti?

I am 18 now but when I was 17 my brother was involved in a hit a run and the police came to our house to find the suspect with the licencse plate the victim furnished the police with. When they came my brother nonchalantly said it wasnt him. After pressure from his question of do you have siblings and do they ever take out your car, he fell into lying and somehow saying it might be my sister~ He told me to say no it wasnt me, but I somehow just said it was me(just to save my brother in my mind) But things turned out nasty cause the day after my brother came to the poilce station and told them the whole truth that it was him, but now they dont believe him. I told my lawyer this story along with my parents, but she said it is better for you to just continue with blaming it on me the juvenile sister. So i payed the crime that i did not do by doing a year of probation but got out of it early cus of good behavior and good in school. The lawyer said that everything would be cleared later and that no record wat so ever will remain and calmed my parents down and told them that this was the right path to take. Now when I try to get my drivers lincence the california dmv says I need an sr-22! My dad is furious and said this is malpractice for not informing us that such records would be transfered to the dmv like that of a sr-22 usually related to DUI‘s. He was a paralegal but I am not sure who is right. What can I do my insurance is going to go way up and there is still a record also if this is so I could of been driving all along! The lawyer said (while on probation) to not drive cus of high insurance costs, but I waited a year and still its going to be high so why did she say not to drive then?. Isnt she suppose to inform us of everythings as a counselor? Please help im going to UC Berkeley next semester and I need to drive soon. Thank you~

I have a dui on my record but I have never had a dui? What do i do?

I had recently got into some trouble with the police (my friend busted a guys window and they ran my license because I was with her when they spoke to her about it), and the cop told me I had a dui on my record? This cop is either crazy or illiterate because there is no way! I have only had one speeding ticket, which I beat. The ticket was in NJ and I hired a lawyer to represent me because I live in MD. She did and sent me a letter saying I owed 206 dollars. I contacted the NJ courts and they said the same thing. The ticket online says I got my speed reduced, I just owed for fines and court costs. (Basically I got the speed reduced). How in the hell do I have a “DUI” on my record? I have never been pulled over for drinking and driving! What do I do? And who do I contact???

What to expect from 1st DUI?

Back in May I received a DUI. After a hard night of partying, I quietly slipped out of this girl’s place I had slept at without waking her at like 9am. On my way home I failed to yield and was t-boned by a truck going 65mph, my car flipped and all that good stuff and I woke up in the hospital with a broken eye socket (orbital fracture) and some of the windshield inside my arm. Thankfully the other driver was ok. The cop took a blood test and my BAC was 0.145. The pre-trial hearing is coming up in August. 1st DUI, in the Denver area, DMV already revoked my license.

What type of punishment to expect?

When will I be eligible to drive again? I need transportation because I work and am a full time student at a traditional 4 year college, would a restricted license be a possibility?

My lawyer advised me to enroll in Alcohol II classes before the hearing? What are the costs and what to expect?

Please no lectures, I know I f*cked up.
