Cambria, CA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

A new misdemeanor criminal charge of driving on a revoked license, with up to a year in jail potential. The court takes such charges seriously, so should you. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or statement be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? Effective plea-bargaining could possibly reduce the potential time and other penalties you face. 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, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

There are essentially only a few ways that you can get a case dismissed. Either the prosecutor believes that he/she cannot prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, you win a suppression motion due to illegal police conduct which amounts to a violation of your rights, or you win the jury trial. For DUI, the first and second scenarios rarely happens. In order to determine your likelihood of succeeding at a jury trial and all potential defenses that exists to you, you should contact a DUI attorney in your area.

That would be entirely up to the CA court and prosecutor at the time. That is not your real problem. You are suggesting you will default on the case, violate probation, and end up with an arrest warrant. If so, that will be valid forever until cleared in court, and you will be subject to arrest on no bail every time you come in contact with law enforcement anywhere in the country, or with border security. Bad idea. You also will have your license suspended [also honored in every state] and not be able to get car insurance until cleared.
