Can I use a defense of a head injury?

Laurie A. Schmidt
Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
DUI/DWI lawyer at 5280 Law Group
In a criminal prosecution, the state, not you has the burden to prove each element beyond a reasonable doubt. Whether it would be likely to meet its burden on your facts is unknown. This is the first considerations that you and your attorney must consider. The impact or effect of a head injury on the case as a defense to the mental aspects is and/or could be raised. You would most likely need an expert and/or medical evaluations from that night. For the DUI charge the head injury would most likely not be a viable defense. Your case and defense is extremely complicated, you should retain an attorney to represent you.

If I got a DUI and suspended license in Florida, can I get a drivers license in California?

That depends on Florida law. The suspension was from there and California will probably make you complete Floridas conditions to get a license back.

What should I do for a first time OWI charge and how do I avoid losing my license?

You should consult with an attorney who practices in the jurisdiction where the charges were filed. That is your best bet for reducing the damage to your record and license.
