If you get a DUI (1st Offence) in Virginia, and are a resident of another state (SC), can SC hold you accountable for the charge
South Carolina and Virginia are members of the Interstate Driver Compact and, as a general rule, they do reciprocate. If you want accurate, specific advice as to your specific situation, you're probably going to need someone to research it for you. The S.C. interstate ADSAP office is in Dorchester County, you may want to contact them at (843) 821-5412 for instructions on how and where to get the classes done so that your license is cleared in both states.

18 Year old 2nd Degree Burglary/Grand Larceny Trial
Stop. You need to contact your public defender now, before you do anything else. School, rehab, church, and getting away from the bad influences are wonderful positive steps - but you need to let your attorney know what you are doing asap. A letter of apology may be wonderful if you end up pleading guilty to your charges, but if you are fighting the charges a letter of apology = a confession. The outcome in your case could be probation, it could be prison, you may plead guilty or you...

Attorney answers:
If my husband wants to appeal his case can I call the pd and put in the appeal for him?? Or does he have to do it??
The notice of appeal has to be filed within 10 days. Call the public defender and tell them your husband wants to appeal, and have your husband put it in writing immediately. His trial attorney will file the notice of appeal and, if he cannot afford an attorney for the appeal, the office of appellate defense will handle the appeal for him.

Attorney answers:
Do I have to give police information about my family during questioning if I have it ?
It's your choice. You do not have to speak to police at all. No one is going to be able to give you any solid advice apart from that unless they know all of the circumstances, and you should not put those details in a public forum online.

Attorney answers:
Can you give over the phone witness statements? What happens if the office does not take all witness statements?
If it is in the magistrate court, you need to contact the arresting officer, who will also be the prosecutor. In the magistrate's court in Horry County, the solicitor's office only prosecutes domestic violence and DUI cases, not assault and battery. If it is in Myrtle Beach Municipal Court, you can contact the city prosecutor's office. In either case, there is a victim's advocate, at the Horry County Police Department or at the City prosecutor's office, that you can talk to. These are...

This is not enough information for an attorney to advise you, and you should not provide further details on a public forum such as this. Do not talk to the police. Call a criminal defense attorney who can meet with you and walk you through this.

Attorney answers:
DUI ~ Underage drinking and trying to go into the Navy ~ Need help
South Carolina does not provide a public defender for misdemeanor charges in the magistrate or municipal courts. Pretrial diversion is a possibility but it is in the discretion of his prosecutor, and your son may have any of a number of defenses to the charge. The best advise that I can give you is to find a way to retain a local attorney who can defend him and try to keep this off of his record.

Attorney answers:
How can I get my husband out of jail and on house arrest until court?
If he has an attorney, you need to direct your question to his attorney. Once bond is denied, his attorney can ask the court to reconsider but there needs to be a change in circumstances before a court will change the prior judge's ruling. Some judges consider the passage of time as a change in circumstances, but many judges will require something more.

Attorney answers:
If I plea guilty in bond trial, can I still sign up for PTI in my following trial?
1) If you pled guilty then it is over and you cannot go to pre trial intervention, although you can move to re-open the plea within 5 days of the date that you pled guilty. The money you paid was a fine, not a bond. 2) If you paid a bond, then you did not plead guilty and your court date is Tuesday. Get an attorney, and let them handle it for you. Most attorneys will request a jury trial, in which case you will not have to appear on Tuesday, then look at the evidence in your case. PTI...

What can I do to correct this error on my record.
If it was in 2004, and if you have had no other convictions before or after, you can get it expunged. There is no need to reopen the case.
