Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Understand??

If you have two DUI arrests that you failed to appear on, and two arrest warrants, the only thing you need to understand is that the DA and judge are not going to be happy with you.

For you to handle a warrant, you must turn yourself into the court, with or without an attorney,

When charged with a misdemeanor like DUI, you potentially face up to 6-12 months in jail -- on each count.

�What can you do�? Hire an attorney, unless you know how to effectively represent yourself in court against a professional prosecutor intending to convict.

No attorney can predict the outcome, nor even give an intelligent opinion, without reviewing and knowing all the charges, evidence, reports, testimony, priors history, etc. However, effective plea-bargaining, using whatever legal defenses, facts and sympathies there may be, could possibly keep you out of jail, or at least dramatically reduce it, depending upon all the facts. Not exactly a do it yourself project in court for someone who does not know how to effectively represent himself against a professional prosecutor intending to convict. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does, who will try to get a dismissal, diversion program, reduction or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial. If serious about hiring counsel to help you in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help use whatever defenses there may be.
