I have a scheduled court date for this week for a class B misdemeanor, on the same day my job is requiring me to go out of town?

You can call the court and see if they will permit you to re-schedule it (unlikely, but you can try). Having work is not an excuse the Judge will usually accept to miss a court appearance. If you have hired an attorney, you can check with your attorney of record to see if your specific court will permit you to waive your appearance. If it is the first appearance since being charged (the arraignment) it cannot typically be waived.

Can an blood test show more alcohol than a breathalyzer test?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Pietryga Law Office
Possibly. I am guessing that the cop asked for a blood draw because of your low BAC reading. He is hoping you have an illegal substance in your body. Clearly, you were not under the influence of alcohol to a degree that would warrant a conviction. Hope this helps.

Should I be hiring a attorney if I was arrested for a DUI?

Jason William Savela
Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
Each case is different and requires individual review. In response to your DUI Post: I am a criminal defense attorney with more than 17 years experience on DUI cases. If you would like to discuss your case, please contact me. Some important information- DMV Issues - If you have been served with a Notice of Revocation, then you have 7 days to request a hearing. Please do that immediately by going to your local DMV office, tell them you got a DUI and you want to request a hearing. They will give you a form. DO NOT REQUEST THE OFFICER. We can do that later if we choose to, but most often it means you will lose. The receipt DMV gives you allows you to drive until the day of the hearing. Request a copy of the Expressed Consent Packet. Evidence Issues - It would be valuable to immediately request all police reports, including all audio and video recordings from dash recorders, lapel recorders and police station recorders from the police agency that arrested you and the prosecution. Include in your written request a statement that you believe the audio and video recordings are ?material and exculpatory.? Make sure you get a copy of your request with the date, signature and name of the person that you give it to. Representation begins when client pays attorney an agreed upon retainer and returns a signed fee agreement.
