What can happen to my friend who was arrested for petty theft while on probation for 2 DUI's?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
Your friend may have some major problems. If he is on separate probation for each of the DUIs, he may be facing 2 probation violations plus the new shoplifting charge.

Will an OWI arrest actually be counted as a third offense, being my previous convictions were 10 and 12 years ago?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
Unfortunately for you the answer is now yes thanks to new legislation. It used to be that only DUIs up to 10 years ago could count against you in order to reach the magic number of three for a felony. Now there is not time restraint so if you were convicted of two DUI offenses 40 years ago and you got one today, it would be a felony. Jared C.

I recently received a DUI on the 17th of this month, am I required to notify the DMV of it?

Mark Corwin Bruce
Answered by attorney Mark Corwin Bruce (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office M. C. Bruce
Yes, if you don't want your license suspended immediately. You have to call the DMV driver's safety office within 10 days of the arrest-today is the 24th, so that leaves tomorrow or Tuesday (Monday is a holiday). The number is in the upper right hand corner of one of the pink papers the officer handed you. You will be calling to set up a hearing for your license suspension. No, a public defender will not help you with that hearing. Either do it yourself or find the money to hire a lawyer. Most people think they can't afford a lawyer till they call.
