Lady Lake, FL DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

This is a very jurisdiction-specific and fact-specific question. Why was he on pretrial release at the time of his DUI? Where did this happen? Each county has its own procedures and criteria for pretrial release. If the original charge was alcohol-related (like another DUI), then it is not unlikely that they will hold him in jail until both charges are disposeed. Judges are just lawyers who didn't like practicing law. They do not want to be forced out of office by releasing some alleged drunk driver who can't stay sober and off the roads. On the other hand, if your bf was on pretrial release (ROR) for some relatively innocuous charge (say, shoplifting) there is a better chance that the court will grant him a bond. Especially since he has served a month already. Good luck. 

Probably the first thing to do is contact your PO to determine the status of you case. Most likely there was a violation hearing and you didn't know about it. Best case scenario, it didn't take place and an attorney could do something for you. Hope it helps.

Have you pled guilty yet or is the offer still pending? It is easier to withdraw a plea before you are sentenced as opposed to after. If you have already pled and wish to withdraw your plea, you will have to have a good reason and not just "buyer's remorse." Consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney in your area.
