If you were caught while under the influence of marijuana can they drug test you at court?

Philip Daniel Hache
Answered by attorney Philip Daniel Hache
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Offices of Phil Hache
No, Courts do not do drug testing while a case is pending. If there was a term of continued release to do drug testing, then your friends would know about it. Other than that, they are no going to go to a court hearing and get forced to take a drug test unexpectedly. They should speak to an attorney in their area about their cases though.

How long should my license be suspended for a refusal to blow (breathalyzer)?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Palumbo & Associates, PC
It does not matter your criminal history you have to win the refusal hearing or you will lose your license for at least 1 year. So spend the money on an attorney at the refusal hearing.

What is the probable punishment in California for excessive DUI BAC greater than .25 first offender with an accident?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
The accident made it a felony. The BA is over twice the legal limit, making enhanced penalties mandatory. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or statement be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do. While this isn't a 'capital case', it certainly carries potential jail, so handle it right. No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or elsewhere are going to effectively help in a legal defense. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a charge reduction, diversion, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I'll be happy to help fight and get the best outcome possible, using whatever defenses and sympathies there may be.
