Legal Question in DUI Law in California

DUI-possible appeal/change councel

I pleaded guilty no contest to charge of 23103 VC (dry

reckless) offered by DA. Reduced from 23152 @ .08%.

Plea included 18 months probation, fee/assessments,

no alchohol course.

Judge ordered 3yrs prob./ 3 month alcohol course at

time of sentencing ( I was not not present, abentia)

My attorney withdrew no contest plea to challenge 3 yr

prob./alch. course. I was not consulted on this plea

withdrawl. Wanted to absolutelymaintain dry

wreckless.

Case has resulted in 4 pretrial conf. My attorney says th

the best I can do is wet wreckless, no fine, 12 hour

class.

I feel I have been misrepresented. My attorney has not

updated me on progress, and has acted without my

consent.

Do I have any recourse? Would retaining another

attorney be advised?

Location, San Francisco

Thank you for any insight or advise.

Re: DUI-possible appeal/change councel

Based on the facts you provided it is unlikely that the da offered a dry wreckless. The usual offer would be a wet wreckless. You have the right to take the police report to another attorney for a second opinion.
