THE HIT AND RUN CASE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE DISMISSED, but the case must be dealt with correctly. GIVE US A CALL IF THAT IS YOUR GOAL. LARRY WOLF 310 277 1707

Re: dui and hit and run

Thanks for your posted inquiry.

A second time DUI and a hit and run is nothing to take lightly. Several factors, including the timing between the first and second DUI, the blood alcohol level, whether there was an injury due to the accident, the court, the attitude of the sentencing judge and the DA towards DUIs, all go into a sentence.

You are facing up to the maximum of two years in jail, up to $2,200 in fines, plus penalty assessments, an extended alcohol school, revocation of a license for one year, restriction for 18 months after that, an ignition interlock device, and probation.

I hope this answer helps, but if you need more information, have other questions, or feel you need representation, please feel free to email me directly. My email address is [email protected], and I�m happy to help in any way that I can. Best of luck.

Re: dui and hit and run

I've read Robert Miller's response, and it is excellent. I just want to add that before a lawyer can predict the outcome of a case, s/he has to know all of the facts of the case as seen by the defendant, what the government is claiming, what any witnesses say, etc. Each case depends upon its own facts. Some cases are stronger for the defense than others. That means that some people will get a better deal than others with the same charges. Creating leverage to get the BEST deal is what many defense attorneys do. If you'd like to discuss this with me further, don't hesitate to call. Steve Mandell (310) 393-0639 Good luck.

Re: dui and hit and run

If it is you asking, you should asap get competent counsel to deal with this to minimize or 'deal' with the jail time, heavy fines, alcohol programs, restitution, etc. Contact me if interested.
