Attorney answers:
How long does it take to get a discovery report for an arrest?
Just because you were arrested it doesn't mean the discovery obligations on the part of the Prosecutor's office have triggered. Once the State Attorney's Office files formal charges (typically via a document called an Information) against you and your attorney has filed a demand for discovery THEN the 15 days from the date of the demand starts. Many defense attorneys will give the Prosecutors more than 15 days because they want to try to keep a good relationship with the Prosecutor when...

If i recieved a DUI in South Carolina but my drivers license was issued in Greogia and i now reside in Florida....
The first thing I would suggest is to get a copy of your Driving Record from GA. Your driving record will show whether or not SC reported to GA about your DUI. This is likely but I always like to know these things for sure. There is what is called the National Driver's Registry which allows the States to input information about drivers in a main system on a national basis. However, it doesn't always accurately show everything. If you go to obtain a FL license and FL is aware of your prior DUI...

There is any way to get hardship license or bussines license after second breathylizer refusal without waiting 18 months?
In order to answer this question you need to provide us with more facts. What happens with your license and whether or not you are eligible for a hardship license depends on many factors that I highly suggest you speak to an attorney about the specific details of your case. The answer to this question can be very complicated and deals with potential administrative and/or criminal court suspensions which will vary on what happens with your case overall. I can answer your question generally...

What would be the charge, is it felony or not adn is there any punishment involved with this false police report.
Depending on the agencies this women reported this information to it could be considered a felony. If you want to report this false report to law enforcement I would do it sooner than later. Any names of people who can support what you say will also be helpful for the police to investigate whether or not a false report was filed.

DUI case in need of a lawyer.
The first court date that you have coming up is your first opportunity to answer to the reading of the formal charges. My suggestion for you is to keep searching and researching lawyers. You will eventually find a lawyer that is within your price range or willing to work with you on some type of payment plan. If you don't find a lawyer by June 3 you can always ask the Court for additional time to retain a lawyer. If you are unable to afford an attorney you may want to see if the Court will...

Dui court date in one week. Don't know what to do?!?
The first thing I would advise you to do is to talk to an attorney. Also, while it is easier said than done, calm down and don't be too nervous. The first court date is your first opportunity to answer to the charges. It would be in your best interest to speak with an attorney about the facts of your case prior to you entering a plea or accepting any deals from the Prosecutor's office regarding your case. You can always ask the court for additional time to speak with an attorney so you are...

Attorney answers:
I have court tomarrow and no lawyer, how do i ask for a continuance?
The best thing to do when you go to Court is advise the Judge that you are still seeking private legal counsel and would like additional time in order to find an attorney that you are comfortable with to represent you for your matter. In Florida, typically the Judge will allow you to continue the case on those grounds. Also, if the Court does grant a continuance that you are given sufficient time to meet with and retain a lawyer prior to your next court date.
