Legal Question in DUI Law in California

In 2000 or 2001, while returning to Arizona from vacation, I was stopped in Blythe, CA and was charged with DUI. I never went to the court hearing and have not returned to California since. What can i do to get this taken care of.

Contact a California DUI attorney to straighten out this mess. It may be possible for a lawyer to handle it without having you return to California.

Michael Kennedy in Palm Springs is one of the best around.

What can you do? Defend the criminal charges, just like every other defendant has to do. Go to court, submit to their jurisdiction, seek withdrawal of the arrest warrant, enter your not guilty plea if appropriate, arrange bail or OR, set up and attend your court hearing[s] and trial date, file your motions as applicable, go to trial if you can't resolve it with a plea bargain. You can raise all your defenses with whatever admissible and credible witnesses, evidence and facts are available for legal arguments for plea bargaining or at trial. There is no magic wand to wave and make it all disappear. If you don't know how to do these things, then hire an attorney that does. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.
