What to expect at admonishment hearing for probation violation

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
The answer depends on a couple of things: (1) what court are you in? (2) is there a non-alcohol-related explanation for the high blow into the GI?  Don't make the mistake of thinking that compliance with all other terms will do you any good. As a particularly crotchety old Judge growled at me once: "It only takes one [violation]!"  Your probation can be perfect. But, if the reason your GI blow was high was because you were drinking, you should expect bad things to happen with your probation.

I believe you mean "ADET" this means "alcohol/drug education/treatment". "VIP" means "victim impact panel".

No, all the testing methods show the same result if taken at the same time. The courts would not accept results if they weren't accurate every time. A little free advice: When arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking the defendant is given documents that include a notice that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of your license imposed by DMV upon your arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by the DMV, or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at tne scheduled DMV appeal hearing and present any supporting evidence and testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or confession be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.
