What can I do if I was accused of a crime that was found to be false?

If you have been charged with a crime that you did not commit you need to retain a lawyer and fight the case. A prosecutor charged you with a crime the are convinced you committed. They will not just dismiss it. Fighting is your only choice.

Can I be stopped at a DUI road block with no probable cause? How?

Jason William Savela
Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
Criminal Law lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
Agreed, this does not seem right. The courts have allowed these checkpoints if notice is given (press release and sign prior stop), there is a need based on accidents or multiple DUIs in that area, and a few other so called safeguards. In response to your DUI Post: I am a criminal defense attorney with more than 17 years experience on DUI cases. If you would like to discuss your case, please contact me. Some important information- DMV Issues - If you have been served with a Notice of Revocation, then you have 7 days to request a hearing. Please do that immediately by going to your local DMV office, tell them you got a DUI and you want to request a hearing. They will give you a form. DO NOT REQUEST THE OFFICER. We can do that later if we choose to, but most often it means you will lose. The receipt DMV gives you allows you to drive until the day of the hearing. Request a copy of the Expressed Consent Packet. Evidence Issues - It would be valuable to immediately request all police reports, including all audio and video recordings from dash recorders, lapel recorders and police station recorders from the police agency that arrested you and the prosecution. Include in your written request a statement that you believe the audio and video recordings are material and exculpatory. Make sure you get a copy of your request with the date, signature and name of the person that you give it to. Representation begins when client pays attorney an agreed upon retainer and returns a signed fee agreement.
