Google Search Results California DUI Information One question I get more than any other is: "What will happen to me in the court on my first offense for DUI?" If you talk to an attorney there are all sorts of variables they will consider. They usually will not give you a clear answer. After ten years of working with first offenders I can tell you within a general framework of what MOST DUI (VC23152) first offenders receive in the 10 county Bay Area. In Court $1200 fine. 3 years probation (informal - no probation officer). 3-5 days sheriff work alternative program (picking up trash, cleaning buses, etc.) OR 90 license restriction (to start AFTER 4 months DMV suspension is over). First Offender School (12 hrs/ 32 hrs / 45 hrs (3 month or 6 months) depending on blood alcohol levels. If the charge is reduced to a ' wet reckless ' the fine is lower and the course is only 12 hours. BUT If you want a restricted license, the DMV requires a completion certificate for a first offender program. A first offender program is 3 months long (sometimes the county makes it 4 months long). So, here is the catch 22. The court tells you to do a 12 hour program BUT the DMV has NO forms for a 12 month program and ONLY accepts completion forms for a 32 hour program! Get it? If you've got a 'wet-reckless' then you have to complete a 3 month program to get your license from the DMV! This is in addition to the four months immediate DMV suspension that starts 30 days after your DUI stop. The Complication These two ACTIONS (court and DMV) are SEPARATE and do not influence one another. Many times someone gets their license back by going to the DMV hearing and then is convicted in the court. When this happens what happens to your license gets ever more 'complicated'. And the reverse is true, people are innocent in the court and yet still have a license suspension with the DMV. With the conviction in the court you are allowed to get a restricted license AFTER a 30 day hard suspension (after the 30 day temporary license period is over = two months after you DUI stop). This allows you to drive to and from work and in the course of your employment and to and from the DUI class. The only 'draw back' to the license restriction is that it is restricted for 5 months (they say 6 but the DMV counts the first month of suspension). OR you can ride out the 4 months suspension period and get you license back. BUT, once the court notifies the DMV that you have been convicted of a DUI or a wetreckless and as part of your probation you have been sent to a First Offender Program. The requirement to show proof of completion of the program will be added to the list of items needed (Proof of Insurance SR-22 and pay $100) to get your license returned. DMV Hearings The suspension will be 'stayed' for six months or until the hearing is held. The driver will have a license BUT if the person loses the hearing (and most do since only 7% of the licenses are returned!). If the driver loses the hearing then the 4 month suspension will go into effect and after a hard 30 days suspension a 5 month restricted license, driving to and from work, could be issued.

Proposals - Recent DWI Decisions - DWI Seminars - Conferences - Organizations DWI In General - DWI Links - Dealing with DWI - Do you have a problem? - Getting help Driving While Intoxicated ( DWI ) ...is a serious offense in the State of New Jersey. Besides mandatory fines, surcharges and possible jail, the NJ Court must impose mandatory drivers license suspensions, with no exceptions, even for people who must drive to work. The purpose of this site is to provide access to legal representation if you have been charged with DWI in New Jersey. While other attorneys claim they "specialize" in defending NJ drivers charged with Driving While Intoxicated, my practice is limited to DWI defense and defense of related motor vehicle violations. After twenty nine years of defending New Jersey drivers charged with DWI, it is clear that you can not win a DWI case, unless you make every effort to do so. We require that the State of New Jersey prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, prove that the breath test was administered properly, that the breath test machine was properly operating, that , that the police had articulable suspicion to stop the vehicle in the first place and probable cause to make the arrest after the stop. We will try all DWI complaints to a verdict unless it appears that a guilty plea is in the best interests of the client . Over the years I have been fortunate to serve as Chairman of the New Jersey State Bar Association Municipal Court Committee, testify in the New Jersey State Legislature to reform DWI laws, serve as a Municipal Prosecutor, have articles on Standardized Field Sobriety Tests published in the New Jersey Lawyer and train other lawyers how to defend DWI cases in various seminars, most recently in three seminars presented by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education. I represent clients across the State of New Jersey, trying cases literally from one end of the State to the other. If you believe that your driver's license is worth fighting for, contact us immediately. Remember to give careful attention to the selection of an attorney, as proper representation can make a substantial difference in the outcome of your case. I hope we have the opportunity to speak soon. Peter H. Lederman, Esq. Lomurro, Davison, Eastman, and Muoz, P.A.

COLORADO DUI/DWAI PRESS RELEASES COLORADO DUI/DWAI PRESS RELEASES NEWS RELEASE For More Information: Jim Forslund Attorney at Law 303-761-6067 IMMEDIATE RELEASE Bush's DUI News Makes Criminal Defense Lawyer say "Don't Let It Happen ToYou" Denver, CO, November 7, 2000 —News about George W. Bush's drunk drivingconviction is making Denver criminal defense lawyer Jim Forslund to warnpeople. Mr. Forslund champions the cause of persons accused of drunkdriving, and for years has preached one central message: "By pleadingguilty to DUI/DWI, you never know when it will come back to haunt you." "One thing that the news of Bush's 1976 DUI conviction does is to reinforcewhat I tell my clients—ANYONE can be accused of drunk driving. Furthermore," Forslund observed, "seeing the bombshell that this poses forthe Bush campaign emphasizes what I tell clients—either fightfor your rights or live with the consequences FOREVER." Forslund also believes that "it will now be much easier to convince amiddle manager or a corporate executive to fight for acquittal in light ofthis devastating disclosure," said the Denver–based trial attorney. "Attorney Don Nichols of Minneapolis used to teach young attorneys atseminars that 100% of the people accused of DUI/DWI who PLEAD guilty areFOUND guilty. The non–judicial consequences of a drunk driving convictioncan follow a person to the grave", says Forslund. "George W. Bush will never be able to put this behind him. No matter if heseeks and obtains a pardon, who will ever forget this lightning bolt out ofthe blue? Certainly not me," said Forslund. "This news will tell all ofAmerica that you don't want to drag this ball–and–chain behind you the restof your life. Fight for your rights." For more information about the consequences or defense of DUI cases, callMr. Forslund at 303-761-6067, or go to his web site, www.colorado-dui.com .
