Do I plead guilty when asked and accept the sentence, or do I say bit guilty and take a chance at a reduction with public defender?

Answered by attorney Lucio Antonio Montes (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Montes Law Firm
Your options are to hire an attorney, if you can afford an attorney, or ask the court to appoint you an attorney to represent you. The option for a public defender is not an automatic option. You should have representation. This is a crime of moral turpitude and will haunt you for the rest of your life if you do not handle it correctly. No one wants to hire a thief. Consult with a local criminal defense attorney, most provide a free consultation for these types of crimes. Good luck.

How long is jail time for a DWI and failure to appear?

Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
Criminal Law lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
Probably just a night for the FTA, then the DWI gets back on the docket. And depending on your priors, anywhere from 3 days to 20 years for the DWI.

Can I be pulled over for simply stopping in a street with no traffic and then asked to do field sobriety tests?

Whether or not you can "beat" the case depends on way too many factors that cannot be summarized in a little answer. You appearance on the video, if one was made, is a HUGE factor. Can the officer stop you for stopping in the roadway for no apparent reason? Yes. He can stop you because stopping in a moving lane of traffic is not legal, even if you are not impeding traffic. He can stop you because of welfare concerns - because what you did was not normal and he was concerned about your welfare. Once he stopped you, if he smelled alcohol on your breath, if your speech was slurred, or if there was any other reason that he thought you might be impaired, he could conduct an investigation which includes field sobriety tests and offering you a breath test. You need to hire a lawyer ASAP. There are driver's license issues at stake with strict time deadlines. You must request a hearing on your administrative license revocation matter within 15 days or your license will be suspended automatically on the 40th day after your arrest for a period of 6 months because you refused the breath test. Many lawyers use this hearing to conduct discovery on the DWI charge - to see the officer testify, etc. - to help make a decision on how to proceed on the DWI.
