Can you appeal a DUI conviction?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
Yes, provided you have the grounds for an appeal. It is a lengthy and complicated process for which you would need to retain a criminal attorney who is familiar with the appeal process. I do not recommend that you try this alone.

Fair and speeded trail?

Richard Francis Sweeney
Answered by attorney Richard Francis Sweeney (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Richard F. Sweeney, Attorney at Law
For a misdemeanor, the prosecutor in NY must be ready for trial within 90 days of arraignment. This just means that they must have their paperwork, like, in a DWI case, the supporting deposition from the cop stating that you had glassy bloodshot eyes, smelled of alcohol, stumbled when you walked. A misdemeanor case must go to trial within 2 years of the commission of the crime. Any adjournments asked for by the defense are excluded from these time limits and any time to decide a motion made by the defense is excluded.

Am I able to view the video of my DUI before consulting a lawyer?

Answered by attorney Jennifer Leigh Gottschalk (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Offices of Richard Sparaco
In most states, if you cannot afford a lawyer, a public defender can be appointed to represent you. You would have to be deemed financially qualified for the public defender by the judge in your case. You would not be able to obtain any video until you requested for it, and paid for it, during the pretrial discovery process. If you get a lawyer, the lawyer should request all discovery, including any video that exists.
