What happens in a bench warrant for driving without a license but I have my license as of now?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
The bench-warrant will not go away and need to be taken care of immediately before you are arrested. I suggest that you consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney asap and get the warrant recalled.

What would the consequences be for my first DWI?

Answered by attorney Robert E McCall (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Robert E. McCall
Sentence always depends on the Judge and the facts surrounding your arrest. Most Judges do not sentence jail time for #1 but that depends on the aggravating circumstances.

Should I have refused the breathalyzer test when I was pulled over?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Can police force you to take a blood alcohol test? No. But, your refusal results in an automatic one year suspension of your license by DMV. Refusal to cooperate with the normal Field Sobriety Tests results in ?contempt of cop? and a sure trip to jail, with a well written police report describing your poor thinking and behavior. Sure, you can contest it. You are presumed innocent until proven guilty, that is why defendants hire attorneys, to fight. A little free advice: If arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking, the defendant is given documents that include a notice that he has only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of license imposed by DMV upon arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by DMV or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at the scheduled DMV appeal hearing to present your supporting evidence and witness testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or statement be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? While this isn't a 'capital case', it certainly carries potential jail or prison time, so handle it right. No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or elsewhere are going to effectively help in a legal defense. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.
