Attorney answers:
No money to pay traffic violation ticket
Ask the court if you can make payments. They usually have a payment plan but will tack on an accounts receivable fee. Also ask to see if you can get the court fine lowered. Many times you can. Have you made your court appearance yet? If not, put yourself on calendar and explain to the judge your situation, many times the courts will work with people. This is an infraction, so you will not be put in jail, however, a failure to pay a court fine can if you fail to keep up with the payments....

What is the minimum penalty for meth posession, DUI/meth, cruelty to minors? 3 felonies and 2 misdemeanors in one stop
Drug diversion is not available at this time because of the non drug related offenses attached to the felony possession charge. Meaning the DUI and the child charges. Why was her vehicle searched? Was it incident to arrest? Was it searched because the car was towed? It is not unusual for the DA to attach other charges with the felony. It does not mean that they charges can or will not be dismissed. Her attorney will review the report to look at why and under what means the vehicle was...

Attorney answers:
Is there any way I can join the military with a criminal record?
I would file the motion to have the felony reduced to a misdemeanor regardless of whether or not you want to enlist. It is within the discretion of the court to reduce a felony to a misdemeanor and some felonies cannot be reduced to misdemeanors. Was this a 460(a) felony? I would also gather many character references, awards if you have any and put this together and seek the services of an attorney or if you cannot afford to pay for a private attorney to do this have the public defender's...

Attorney answers:
Have a restricted license due to a dui conviction, I'm allowed to drive to and from work..
What you need to also be careful of is a violation of your probation. I take it that you pled to a DUI so therefore you are probably on summary probation. Any new type of law violation could cause your previous probation (DUI) to be revoked and could subject you to jail time. Best advice is to get your tags updated, so you won't run into this problem.

Attorney answers:
How do I take care of a citation code 488?
Do you mean Penal Code 488 which is a petty theft. You need to ensure that you have a lawyer or if you can not afford an attorney the court will appoint one for you. Pleading to a 488 can have a serious impact in the future, meaning, if you get a second charge of a petty theft that the DA can charge this as a felony 666. Be sure and speak with your lawyer before entering a plea to this charge. Good luck!

Attorney answers:
Federal magistrate citations and jurisdiction
Did you get cited by federal police on a base in this matter? I would need more facts of the charges to be able to give a more substantive answer. I take it you were cited while on a federal installation?

Attorney answers:
Dui sentencing/ plea bargaining
First, if you did not intentionally leave the scene but were in fact going to get help or telephone someone, why would you plead? Second, what you could do if you are going to plead to the DUI, is ask for your fine to run concurrent with your electronic monitoring. Why were you stopped? Many questions first before you take a plea, just because your BAC was .15 you need to make sure first that your lawyer has examined your case. Did the officer watch you for 15 minutes prior to you blowing (...

Attorney answers:
Suspended license in CA
If you did not receive notice and had no knowledge that is a defense. If you never received notice in the mail, then you were never notified. You will need to address this with the court in California first before the hold will be lifted off of your license so that you can obtain your license in the new state you are in. Chances are a failure to appear has been added and possibly a bench warrant, so you need to get this cleared up right away. Good luck to you.
