Is this a second  DUI offense?

You would have to read the DUI statute for your state. Most statutes specify that in order for the stiffer penalties to be assessed, the suspect has to be convicted of DUI, not just arrested for it. \n\nOn a side note: What the hell are you doing with someone like that. He obviously didn't learn the first time and now wants to get pulled through the wind wing for refusing to get out of the car. Get a better BF and have a better life.

Pay off your other tickets, go to court and ask the judge for a continuance so that you can get your license reinstated. Once you have your reinstated license, return to court and maybe, just maybe the judge will dismiss the charge. Most judges are more interested in helping folks get out of trouble than by adding more fines and fees to keep them in trouble. Whatever you do, DON'T drive again until you get your license back. You won't get a second chance if you get caught twice.

That is a plausible appeal, but the attorney is just using technicality on this case.  Most officers will do field sobriety test, questions and Breathalyzer.  So even if the test from the Breathalyzer is thrown out, there still will be a case against your son.  He has a drinking problem.  The lawyer will make a ton of money on the appeal and the results will most likely be the same.  Guilty of DUI.

you may get a lesser sentence if it's a first offense, but i have to say if you were my kid i wouldn't pay for your lawyer.  good luck.

Doesn't sound like it was a misdemeanor. There are all sorts of minor violations which do not become part of any criminal / permanent / public records. If all you got was a ticket, then this is probably not something still on your record.

First, this is being reported as an accident.\nSecond, if the other person does not press charges, then there is nothing that anyone can do.

Yes, go see your PO. That's why you were in jail the first time you idiot, you didn't obey the law! Dont try breaking it again.

You're  not going to jail on a 1st offence misdemenor assault, not to worry.  Make sure your witnesses are their in court for you.  Don't settle for a plea agreement other than J-walking.  Your Attorney should be able to show that the other guys witnesses are bogus.

It can go either way...a chance you take. The judge could lessen the charge or ammend it. Or if found guilty you could pay more including court costs, lawyer etc.... I would talk persoanlly to the officer who issued it first, before the court date and ask if he could help you out, provided you did not curse the officer out or spit on him during the traffic stop, or tell him he should stop eating doughnuts.

In today's climate 2 DUIs are definitely not good at all. Get a good lawyer to work with the DA and get into outpatient substance abuse counseling. You can probably get off with probation and continued counseling. I wish you luck whatever happens. One last word: If drinking is causing you problems, you might have a problem with drinking.

You must have already been arrested otherwise you wouldn't have taken a breathalizer to blow an 034 so that isn't the issue here. If the officer can articulate why he thought that you were driving under the influence, you can still be CONVICTED of driving under the influence of intoxicants AND/OR drugs. Get a good attorney. In cases like these, it is money well spent.

Polo, here is the sad truth:  He won't approve it.  There are guidelines that the judge has to adhere to.  He cannot allow you to take a second defensive driving class within the specified time.  Sorry.  You failed to tell us the State in which you received the tickets.  There might be slightly different laws from state to state.

likely some jail time, considering the amount in question.  since it's the 1st offense, i wouldn't say it's a significant am't of time.  restitution is a given, and probation thereafter...at least 18 mos.

They are as serious if not more serious than being charged with a DUI.\nTell your friend to try to fight it and get the charges dropped to a lesser misdemeanor.\nThis charge will haunt him on his personal record forever.

Depends on the state. Check your state's DMV website. And learn a lesson, will you? First time is an accident, second time is just plain stupid and that is exactly how a judge will look at it. Your second chance was to take the class but a second offense has you well on your way to habitual offender and you're back on a bike.

Are you sure it wasn't a DUI?  It seems like it should have been.  Did the officer give you a breath test or anything to determine your Blood/Alcohol?  Did he perform field sobriety tests?  If not then the judge will not know if you were impaired or if you were even over the legal limit.  Usually judges don't ammend charges anyway.  They make a decision on what the officer gives them.  They don't just go adding charges that can't be proven.
