Do I have to start my case over if I get another attorney?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney George William Woodworth (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of George Woodworth and Associates
No, the case does not start over but the Judge may not give the new Attorney much leeway as far as giving him additional time for preparing the case. You should be aware that the Judge may discourage any further changes of counsel, especially if you are nearing the start of Trial. Thus, make sure you have the right Attorney to replace your present one, and then cooperate fully with your new counsel.

The penalty, if there are no other aggravating factors would be 3 years probation,a fine of about $2000, an 18 month DUIp rogram and between 30 and 45 days in the weekend work program.You probably will have a 1 year license suspension.

Will a police officer know if my license was suspended in a different state?

Paul J. Wallin
Answered by attorney Paul J. Wallin
Criminal Law lawyer at Wallin & Klarich, A Law Corporation
First of all every state is required to notify another state when someones license is suspended. California should not have issued you a license if at the time they did your license was suspended in Kansas. You should check with the DMV to see if your license is suspended. As to whether a police officer in California will know that your license is suspended in another state, that is very unlikely but sometimes happens.
