Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Failure to complete community service

The court will eventually require that you complete the "terms and conditions of probation"...the classes. If you have done so, submit written proof to the Court. Otherwise, contact me by e-mail to set an appointment. [email protected]

Re: Failure to complete community service

Yes, an attorney can represent you, but whether the court will accept a fine in lieu of jail is up to the judge. The attorney's job is to persuade the judge to do so, with whatever facts you can provide him. If you actually did what you were ordered to, then it may be possible. If the case is in SoCal, feel free to contact me if serious about doing this.

Re: Failure to complete community service

If you had a deadline to comply with community obligations in your LA case in all likelihood there is a bench warrant out on you and the sooner you deal with it the better. The case could potentially be dealt with without requiring your presence in LA. I would consider it to be a good result if the judge simply gave you another shot at doing your community service. A bit of a long shot considering how much time has gone by but if you have a good excuse and you can document it . . . perhaps something could be done.

Your license should not be an issue. Since you have served your suspension and took the classes, you should be able to get a license in any state. A warrant is a different story. If you do not take care of it voluntarily it will inevitably catch up to you sooner or later.

Feel free to give me a call for further consultation.
