Is it legal to drive to the court ordered MADD meeting with a restricted (not suspended) license?

Asked by a user in San Diego, CA - over 2 years ago.

The California restricted license for a first or second offender does NOT include MADD meetings - they'll probably turn you in too - so do tell anyone if you do drive there - Your restricted license is only valid to, from, and during work, or to and from the DUI class - now you might argue going home from work and stopping at the MADD class is to and from and during work, but better not to get caught. Good luck on your case. Joshua Dale - www.joshdale.com

Applying for Naturalization with a pass DUI?

Asked by a user in Sacramento, CA - about 4 years ago.

After you are off probation, and provided this is a simple first offense DUI, you can apply after that. INS delays any application until you are off probation. You should check w/ INS about a 5 year prohibition, as none of my clients tell me this. Good luck.

Asked by a user in California - about 3 years ago.

You do not need to send CA your WA license - CA has no right to demand another state's license - Your lawyer is right, and the one above me - who shouldn't be answering CA questions anyway - is wrong. Joshua Dale www.joshdale.com

Dui Case going on for 6 months with no filing?

Asked by a user in Red Bluff, CA - over 3 years ago.

The District Attorney of every county in California has up to one year to file a misdemeanor charge like DUI or drunk driving. You have a great case, it sounds - hold out for one year and then forget it - BTW, what happened at the DMV? Did the DMV take your license? Did you contact the DMV? Good luck on your case. Joshua M. Dale, Esq. www.joshdale.com

Dui information

Asked by a user in Huntington Beach, CA - over 3 years ago.

I think you want an expungement rather than an exemption. Penal Code Section 1203.4 is what you want in California. What you cannot acheive is having it removed from your driver's license record - insurance companies have paid to have it remain on your record so they can charge you higher rates. Good luck getting an expungement, if it is worth it to you. Joshua M. Dale, Esq. www.joshdale.com
