Legal Question in DUI Law in Kansas

I got a DUI in Califorina on September 2008 and moved out to Kansas due to prior engagements. I went back to California to go to court and at the time I was only 20. The Judge reduced my charge to a Wet and Wreckless and gave me permission to return to Kansas but was unsure what the laws were in terms of how to get my license back. California requires you to sign up for class 21 days after your charge and then you got to one class a week for 12 weeks or so. I contacted the DMV here in Kansas and they told my I would either have to go back to California and take the required classes for 12 weeks or I can sign an agreement stating that I will not move back to California for 3 years, pay a fee of $150, and lastly obtain thr SR22 High Risk Insurance. It will be 3 years in September of this year since my DUI, and I have not had my license and I need help or options on how to get it back.

If your license is suspended or revoked in California, Kansas will not issue you one. So, as you foudn out, you either comply wioth teh Californioa rule to remove the suspension, or sing the affidavit of no reenty to California. Have you checked ot see if California will accpet comprably clases attended in Kansas or Missouri? Missouri has alive at 25, and YTOP. Kansa also has programs. If these are not possible or seem to onerous, then you should go with the Affidavit and SR-22 insurance option. You may also hire California Counsel to request reinstatement of your license without the classes because your suspension period has probably lapsed. You might contact the California DMV to see if yrou suspension has lapsed, and you can get reinstated without the classes or hiring counsel there.

Good luck
