After being arrested, how long does it take to find out how long your sentence will be?

Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen

Way too many variable. Depends on the judge, his priors, the DA, the county, and your lawyer. Better hire the best lawyer you can afford.

How do I get the state to drop charges?

Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
Criminal Law lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
If you didn't do it, they still won't believe you. You need to hire a credible lawyer that the DA will listen to and dump the charges.

Can I get a DUI while driving on private property?

Answered by attorney Christopher L Hoglin
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Christopher L. Hoglin
To answer your question, YES, you can get a DUI on private property. Most commercial property owners post signs informing the public that the California Vehicle Code is enforced on their property. Another issue with the detail in your question though, reveals a great defense to a charge of DUI. It is not enough that the police prove you were above a 0.08% BAC when they found you. The District Attorney will have to also prove that you were driving with that BAC level. According to your story, you were not driving when the police arrived. They have to be able to prove your BAC was at or above 0.08% at the time of driving. Unless there are any witnesses to your driving, or you admitted to recent driving just prior to the police arriving, then it will be nearly impossible for the DA to prove you were driving, and thus you should be able to beat the DUI charge.
