French Gulch, CA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

When you were put on probation, you admitted to the crime. Now that you have, the judge can sentence you to anything up to the maximum penalty allowed under that crime's statute upon a finding that you violated probation. It is pretty obvious that you did violate probation so you will be at the mercy of the judge. Hire a good lawyer who is local to the court where the probation was imposed He or she should be able to give you a good idea of what you are looking at for a disposition.

The law says if you tell DMV about your intention to move out of the state for over 3 years they will not require you to take the DUI classes. If you were gone for less than 3 years, it sounds like it could be close, that is why they suspended your license. You should have gotten a letter in the mail about the suspension. I would need you to come to my office, but before I see you I would need you to get a license printout at the DMV.

I cannot tell for sure. If there were injuries you could be charged with a felony. If no injuries, then the most you could do is 18 months in jail and a 18 month or 30 month program. Some may depend if you had insurance. Because there are so many variables, including what blood level and even what county you are in I can not give you any sort of idea other than the maximums. There would be a minimum of 10 days in jail on the 2nd dui plus up to 6 months on a probation violation.
