I was arrested for a dui 11 years ago in manchester. I live in LA,Ca. my license is now suspended here. What are my options?

The NH case must be resolved before CA will reinstate your license. II would obtain local counsel to assist you. If the case has not been adjudicated either by plea or trial then I would consider filing a motion to strike the default and request a trial date. Cases are like wine, they get better with age.

Can i be found guilty of driving without ever being caught driving the car

The answer is, it depends. If the state can obtain enough circumstantial evidence to prove that you were operating the car in question then the fact that you were not caught in the driver seat may not have much meaning.

What rights do I have when taking care of someone else's dog?

If you are temporarily caring for the dog then you cannot have an elective medical procedure performed without the owner's consent. I would suggest contacting an animal behavior specialist to provide assistance while the dog is in your care. The local SPCA should have some suggestions as to who you should contact.

Can a state trooper call me ask me questions and then use the conversation to arrest me if he never told Me he recorded me

As the only New Hampshire attorney to respond to this question I would advise you that any pre-arrest voluntary statement made on the phone or otherwise can be used against you. New Hampshire is a "one party" state meaning that the police can apply for a one party wire and record the information absent informing the other caller. Should you have any additional questions or concerns please call me at 603-772-3433

After convicted of DWI in NH, I was cited and released for driving on a suspended license.

Sadly, you cannot resolve this case by mail. You will need to contact the NH DMV and find out why your license is under suspension.

Second DUI in 6 yrs

You will only face jail time if you are convicted of a DWI subsequent or aggravated charge. You should consult with a DWI attorney to determine what defenses may exist. NH law RSA 265-A:18 sets out what the Court is limited to in terms sentencing options. I offer a free consultation should you wish to discuss the matter further.

My 19 year old son was arrested for illegal possession of alcohol (1 can of unopened beer)

The police are not required to provide Miranda warnings unless they intend to question your son after he is under arrest (not free to leave). Typically most courts will impose a fine. However, many will also order that his license will be suspended. The dmv in a separate proceeding also has the authority to suspend his license. If you have additional questions please call.
