How can I get my license back if it is suspended for nonpayment of tickets?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Before you got arrested on the new charge, you could pay the tickets or go to court and try to negotiate a reduced price plea bargain. Now? Only by going to court on the new misdemeanor criminal charges, and try to negotiate a plea bargain on the new charges and the old tickets to clear them all. Then, after paying all the fines ordered, you will get a court clearance order to take to DMV. No pay, no license. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me.

What should I do if police want to question me?

Criminal Law lawyer at Castleberry & Elison, P.C.
Do not, under any circumstances, speak to the police. The police may attempt to personally serve you with a criminal citation and complaint. If this occurs, do not talk to the police and immediately call a lawyer. If the police arrest you, do not say anything: exercise your constitutional right to remain silent and contact an attorney as soon as possible.

Is there a way to find out if the officer has had any prior complaints against him?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
I am assuming that your fiance has an attorney. You should be directing these questions to his attorney. With regards to complaints against the officer, the attorney would have to file a Pitches Motion in order to get the information you want. These motions are extremely difficult to win without extreme good cause and reasons for seeking the information. A fishing trip into the officer background without more evidence of his character are usually denied. As for the judge handling the case. Just knowing the defendant, in and of itself, may not be a conflict of interest.
