Monterey, CA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

You need an attorney. I am not sure if you got your second DUI in ID or CA. An attorney can appear for you. You will eventually have issues with the Nursing Board because of the DUI's. You should be proactive in dealing with these issues now.

First, the earliest any dui probation can be over is 3 years or the dmv will suspend your license. If this is a felony or the case involved high blood or an accident the judge may not terminate early. Third, check with an Immigration Attorney, you may still have to disclose the conviction to the ICE.

I am a little unclear on your situation. Are you saying that you were pulled over, took the portable breath test (BT) at the scene and then the police officer (P.O.) allowed you to drive home after blowing a 1.0??? If that is the case, you got very lucky. The portable BT is not admissible as evidence in MA courts. If the P.O. didn't give you any field sobriety tests and the portable BT is inadmissible, then there is NO admissible evidence except the police officer's observations of your driving and demeanor at the scene. Those two things would never convict you, especially if he let you drive away from the scene. There is something very strange about your situation. If a P.O. knows that you are over the legal limit (1.0% on the portable BT), it is virtually unheard of for a P.O. to then let you drive away. If this did in fact happen like this, you are the luckiest person in MA. You will NOT be charged with anything. Can you image the cop answering questions on cross examination? "So, officer, you believed my client was intoxicated, correct?" - Yes "But you then let him/her drive from that location, correct?" - Yes The cop cannot say that he thought your ability to drive was impaired and then he let you drive away. You should be fine.
