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.

What can I do on a DWI case that still ongoing for a year?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
Why has it been delayed for that long? Are you represented by an attorney? If not, you should retain an experienced DUI attorney in your area as soon as possible. Is the prosecution delaying the case because of lack of evidence or is the defense delaying it for some strategic reason? A lot more information is needed before a more accurate answer can be given. Usually there are statutory mandates on how long the court has to bring a misdemeanor case to trial. If it has not come to trial in that time period, there would need to be good cause for why it has been delayed for so long.

Can my vehicle get the 10 day impoundment if someone else got a DUI while driving it?

Yes. But you can go in front of the Judge and claim hardship. Most judges will waive it under your facts.
