If you have an active warrant in one state, will that warrant show up at the dmv if you go in to get an id card?

The short answer to your question is yes your warrant will show up in Colorado. The issue in your case is what type of warrant you have. If they are seeking some type of felony extradition back to Alaska or if it’s some type of misdemeanor failure to pay. Also I have to ask were you ordered to pay by the state (plea deal) or did you take it upon yourself to pay back the money on your own. If you are just trying to pay money back to the aggrieved party I would suggest getting an...

Hi, My wife arrested due to domestic violence in Colarado. The case has been. How to obtain a copy of te dismissal order?

Your biggest issue at this point should be getting an immigration lawyer. While the case may have been dismissed your wife’s record will show that she was charged with the original Domestic Violence charge. The charge alone is going to have ramification on your wife visa.

If I have a DUI in South Dakota and I get a DWAI in Colorado, what will be the penalty?

You are looking at your Second conviction. While this may only be a DWAI it will still have some pretty severe consequences. You are looking at about $1000 in fines, at least 50 hours of useful public service and some jail time. Because the DA is only charging you with a DWAI I would strongly recommend you get a DUI specialist. The sentences only get harsher after your first DUI and you need to protect your rights.

My 1st time petty offense is possession of paraphernalia and marijuana; what should I expect now?

I think your issue is how this will affect your financial aid and the only people who can truly help you with that would specifically be financial aid. As for the court appearance if your record is as clean as you say you may only get a slap on the wrist. You should still contact a lawyer in that area because of the collateral consequence to your financial aid.

I know it varies from state to state, so can Colorado traffic cops hide?

I have to agree with Mr. Buckley. While it appears to be completly unfair it does not appear to be against any statute or law. I am not aware of any law that states the police officers have to be visible in order to give you a ticket. Sorry

I need a criminal lawyer

The legality of this incident depends on the legality of the use of the Confidential Informant, which is determined by a number of factors we would discuss. For example, if it can be shown that the informant is not credible or has unreliable information, there may not be probable cause for the warrant and the audio could not be used against you. Furthermore, because the conversation has been tampered with, there may be grounds to suppress the conversation.

Does anybody know how can it effect my case if I change an attorney on my DUI case 10 days before the trial.

If you are having personality conflicts with your current counsel ask the judge if you can have him/her removed. You have to understand that just asking for the continuance does not guarantee you getting the continuance. But you need to address the conflicts with your attorney.
