What happens if I accidentally missed a court date for a DUI?

Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
Criminal Law lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
Different counties treat it differently, but you probably have a warrant out for your arrest. If this was just in the last 2 days, a call to the court clerk may prevent a warrant from issuing. If it is beyond 2 days, the warrant has issued. If you were on bond prior to missing your court date, call your bondsman to try to help you fix this. If you were not on bond, you should call a bondsman to help you get bonded out when you turn yourself in. The court can enter a judgment on the DUI against you. You need to contact the court to say that you do not want this to happen. You have about 7 days. If you have an attorney (public defender), contact him/her. If you do nothing, eventually they will arrest you.

Does having a paid for attorney benefits me more than having a court appointed one?

Answered by attorney Lawrence Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
A paid attorney is always better. They are more responsive to your questions, and because you pay them, you never have to worry where their loyalties lie.

17 year old first offender charged with pl 220.03 caught with less than .4 of MDMA

Answered by attorney George A. Vomvolakis
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of George Vomvolakis
You are elgible to receive youthful offender status which means that even if you plead guilty, it would not count as a criminal conviction.  With that being said, if I were representing you I would try to avoid any sort of guilty plea because even a youthful offender adjudication will show up on your record.
