Osprey, 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. 

If you're in Texas you can apply for an Occupational Driving Privilege that will allow you to drive for up to 12 hours a day, up to six days a week.? See a lawyer, of if you can't afford one and can deal with the hassle yourself, go to your county courthouse and ask questions until you find out whether the clerk has or can point you to a form for the application.

Anybody can be charged with anything. That doesn't mean they can prove your guilt beyond all reasonable doubt. They will have to have some evidence that you were driving either directly or indirectly. Make sure you are represented by an experienced DUI attorney from the area.
