Tehachapi, CA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

There was probably a court date on one of the papers they gave you when you were released from jail. If not keep checking with the court at least 1 time per week.

Each judge is different, but generally a second offense is always worse than a first offense no matter how long the time period has been. The impression many judges will have, accurate or not, is that you have been drinking and probably driving during this interval and you have just now been caught again. It's not unheard of for a lot of judge to sentence you to some jail time for a second offense so I would strongly urge you to retain an experienced DUI attorney in your area. The penalties are much more severe than first offense DUI and since it's been less than seven years, you are looking at a mandatory loss of your driver's license and that can be a costly nightmare in terms of time, money, and effort to get back. Have a DUI attorney thoroughly review the case against you for the best possible outcome.

You have major problems. You are on probation for DUI, you drove without a license and without the interlock, all in violation of your DUI sentencing order and in violation of probation. You have new charges to deal with and what ever comes from those; however, the judge is also holding the remainder of the jail time (up to a year) from the DUI case, for which he could impose a portion or all of the jail time. I would recommend that you get an attorney to help you with this.
