Legal Question in DUI Law in California

The statute of limitations is how long they have to file charges against you. On a misdemeanor DUI, it's one year. IF they don't file charges within that one year, then you win. You're halfway there. I don't know why it's taking so long. A couple of months is the usual delay. You could be one of the rare ones that the paperwork got lost, misfiled, etc.

If you don't have an attorney, it may be worth getting one to quietly check into things without forcing them to find the case and file. Meanwhile, don't do anything that will make the police and/or DA go looking for your case to file charges against you.

Check with the court clerk to make sure whether charges were filed or not. You may have been notified by mail, and not gotten the letter. If no charges were filed, just sit tight. If they were filed, you probably have an arrest warrant that you need to deal with. If so, and if you're serious about getting legal counsel to help you, feel free to contact me.
