If the officer no longer employed how will this effect my case?

Possibly. The officer could theoretically still show up to court, however, it is a lot less likely whether the officer will show. If the officer does not show up for your trial then the case will likely be dismissed.

Answered by attorney Erin L. T. Ranney
DUI/DWI lawyer at Erin L.T. Ranney, PLLC
The police only have to read an accused their rights under Miranda when the person is 1.) under arrest and in custody and 2.) being questioned about a crime (that one or another one).  This response is general in nature and is not legal advice. No attorney client relationship is formed by it. Further, the response does not represent the opinions or views of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.

Trial fee

Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
You should review the written retainer contract with your lawyer, it probably was a flat fee which included plea or trial.  I assume that at some point you entered a plea rather than going to trial. The decision to plead rather than go to trial is based upon the advice of your lawyer, which is what you paid for.  A lawyer will file a notice of appearance, request and review discovery from the state, obtain and review the dui video, and enter into negotiations with the state attorney and attend several court hearings before advising you of whether to go to trial or not. It is quite possible that the lawyer decided that you would have a losing case and if you went to trial you may have faced a jail sentence instead of probation as part of a plea. In many cases you are paying for the reputation and experience of the lawyer and some lawyers collect a flat fee which includes a trial.
