What happens if my attorney withdraws from my case because I missed a court date?

David F. Stoddard
Answered by attorney David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The David F. Stoddard Law Firm
There are several possible options. One would be to hire another attorney. Another would be to check into whether your attorney sent in a representation letter to the court or Solicitor's Office. If so, the attorney may have to file a Motion with the Court to be relieved as counsel on your case. In other words, he may still be your attorney whether he likes it or not. If you paid the entire fee, you could file for a refund with the fee dispute resolution committee (call the SC Bar for this).

If the alcohol container is open the person can be arrested, but would probably be only be given a citation to appear in court. It is against the law to ride in a vehicle and consume alcohol. It is illegal to ride in a vehicle with open alcohol containers.

Does anyone have to comply with probation terms before actually being sentenced and placed on probation?

Maybe, many jurisdictions have pretrial release conditions that are just like probation, some require reporting to probation officers, chemical testing and other more draconian tactics that make your life miserable. An experienced DUI defense attorney in your area can provide you with more localized information and other advice that may help you avoid a DUI conviction.
