What can I do if my license got suspended without me knowing?

Whatever you do, do not just pay it. Hire a lawyer asap. If you are found guilty it results in more time and suspensions.

HOW TO CHECK SOMETHING ON MY RECORD

Patrick Short
Answered by attorney Patrick Short
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Firm of Patrick Short
Get a copy of the judgment (the complete file would be better) from the court that it was adjudicated in.  It probably was a municipal court or a justice of the peace court in the city/county where it occurred.  Once you get that an attorney will be able to advise you of what is best to do.  There are certain situations that can be expunged for Class "C" misdemeanors.  Good luck, patrick short

What punishments will my friend face for a DUI?

Justin C. Olsinski
Answered by attorney Justin C. Olsinski
Criminal Law lawyer at Olsinski Injury, Family and Criminal Lawyers
First, you should never just plead guilty to a DWI without proper legal counsel. In many circumstances there are issues to fight, regardless of the intoxication level. On a first offense the punishment is laid out in 20-179 of the statute with all the maximums. Realistically, depending on your county, most people do not end up serving any active time for their first offense if there were no grossly aggravating factors. With fines and court costs I would prepare for around $500 and some community service. As for AA, your friend would have to take an alcohol assessment which his lawyer would direct him to do and the results of the test will dictate how many hours of class he has to take. I strongly advise you to consult an attorney in your area, DWI's are serious and there are many advantages to hiring an attorney to represent you on one.
