Commonly Asked Criminal Law Questions From Users Near You

How likely am I to get my Probation extended or how much time in jail will I have to do?

Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
Criminal Law lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
Depends on you, the Judge, the DA and your attorney. Best to hire an attorney with a very good reputation in that Court.

Can I get a DUI while driving on private property?

Answered by attorney Christopher L Hoglin
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Christopher L. Hoglin
To answer your question, YES, you can get a DUI on private property. Most commercial property owners post signs informing the public that the California Vehicle Code is enforced on their property. Another issue with the detail in your question though, reveals a great defense to a charge of DUI. It is not enough that the police prove you were above a 0.08% BAC when they found you. The District Attorney will have to also prove that you were driving with that BAC level. According to your story, you were not driving when the police arrived. They have to be able to prove your BAC was at or above 0.08% at the time of driving. Unless there are any witnesses to your driving, or you admitted to recent driving just prior to the police arriving, then it will be nearly impossible for the DA to prove you were driving, and thus you should be able to beat the DUI charge.

What happens if you do not show up at court for a speeding ticket?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Conover English (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The English Law Firm
Nope - if you do not show up, then any bail you post is forfeit and the ticket will probably go to collections. All you end up with is a failure to appear or bail forfeiture. The only exception I can think of off the top of my head is if you submitted to a "trial by declaration." In that case, you would have sent in a written declaration in lieu of testimony and the case would be decided on your declaration.
