George's answer: I would certainly need more information to be able to give you an idea of what he faces. On the detainer - which Judge he was on probation with would have a large impact on what happens. Frankly, if he is charged with Robbery and Agg Assault, the time on the DUI may be the least of his problems. You can call my office for a free consultation at 412-521-2628 and I will be happy to discuss all of the particulars with you.
I have received my second dui in Sept 11 and my third in Oct 11.: Being that the one in Oct 11 had a few weeks apart for my 2nd, the Oct one would be considered as my 2nd. The thing about this is they are in 2 different counties. I was told I would serve 5 days in jail and 85 day on house arrest for my second one, can the one that occurred in Oct affect the outcome on my Sept 11 ?
George's answer: You should be aware that technically under PA law these would be your 2nd and 3rd Offenses. Its not clear from your question what your BAC was for the Oct. 11 DUI, but if you were in Tier III (BAC .16 or higher, Refusal, or Controlled Substance) you could be facing a mandatory sentence of 12 months. Therefore, the Oct 11 offense poses the most danger to you. As these are in two different Counties you cannot negotiate a consolidated plea for both. As noted above, an experienced DUI Attorney might be able to get the DA and the Court on the Oct 11 case to consider that offense as a second rather than a third for sentencing purposes. It is important that, at a minimum, you consult with an experienced DUI Attorney in the County which charged you with the Oct 11 DUI.
What does it mean if an officer says they going to get rid of all my drug charges when i get pulled over for a dui (drugs)?: does that mean only the possesion? or the dui as well?
George's answer: Frankly, it may not mean anything. Sometimes police will only file the dui and not posession. However, You need to consult with an attorney in your area.
