What should I do next in my DUI case?

Answered by attorney Ardalon Fakhimi
Criminal Law lawyer at California Criminal Defense Center
If you're blood alcohol level was .008% and there are no traces of illegal substances in your blood, the case is unlikely to be filed by the prosecutor. However, like many people, you may be mistaken about your blood alcohol concentration which may be .08%. If that is the case, you should consult with a qualified DUI lawyer. Please remember that you only have 10 days form the date of the incident to request a DMV hearing. It is much better if you allow your lawyer to schedule the hearing, but you may do so yourself. If you fail to schedule the hearing within 10 days from the date of the incident, you lose the right to have it.

Can my ex-husband be arrested if he stole my belongings from our home that is under both our names?

Probably not, the police hate to get into the middle of a civil quarrel and will probably try to send you to court under the divorce case. But since you are divorced, it seems that one of you would have been given sole occupancy of the house even though it is still in both names and that would make the act criminal if you could show that the belongings were either clearly yours or were awarded to you in the divorce. Then they might at least talk to him. Even if they make an arrest, the prosecuting attorney has to make a decision whether or not to prosecute and they usually have a lot of very serious stuff on their plates. I would take it to circuit court. It would be the same case as the divorce. Pleae note that I can only suggest action based on the information you gave me. Even a small twist in the facts could render this invalid.

What should you do if you find out police came to your home to ask you questions?

Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
If it is not already too late, I advise you to exercise 5th Amendment rights to SHUT UP and call a lawyer, as every cop show on TV correctly teaches. The attorney will now have to make any motions to dismiss or suppress evidence that may be appropriate, and defend the charges in court hearings and at trial, based upon all the arguments, documents, facts, evidence, witnesses, surveillance tapes, etc. All that will be available in discovery. Unless you know how to effectively represent yourself in court, hire an attorney who does.
