What happens after a year has passed since my DUI?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
I cannot fully answer your question. The license suspension is based on the numbers of priors. You may have to take a DUI class if your blood was .08% or more. Contact the DMV or get a lawyer to contact them for you.

What should I do if I was arrested at a DUI checkpoint?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Upon release from jail or booking, a long series of appearances will be required by you if you wish to contest the DUI. If in California, contact the DMV in a timely manner if you wish to appeal the automatic one year suspension of your license that typically follows a DUI arrest.You will then have to make a court appearance for the Arraignment where, if you choose, you can plead not guilty. You will be given a Pre-Trial hearing where negotiations with the DA are first conducted. If the case is not plea bargained, it will be set for trial and you’ll have to file many appropriate Motions.Unless you are confident that you can do all of this on your own, you may want to contact an attorney. The conventional wisdom is that the attorney will be able to get you a better deal than you could on your own, or effectively try the case if forced to that. That is what you are paying for.

What should I do and are these jail time offences for DUI?

Hudson Thomas Bair
Answered by attorney Hudson Thomas Bair (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Kapsack & Bair, LLP
Some jurisdictions in California read the statute for a first offense as requiring 48 hours in jail, some do not. A second offense, or more almost always requires jail. Many counties have programs that count as "jail" without requiring you to actually spend the night in jail, some do not. You should consult a local DUI attorney who can likely answer your questions about jail, jail options and possibly even defenses that may reduce your charges, punishment or both.
