Is an attorney handling your CA DUI? You can ask your attorney to contact an attorney in MA in order to find out the concequences. Federal DUI law is a very specific area of law - not at all like State DUI law. You can go to www.california-dui-lawyers.org to find a DUI specialist.

I'm not sure about a "wet reckless" but a DUI in MA will cost you the loss of your license for a minimum of 45 days if it's your first offense, and you will have to attend a school and pay heavy fines. It's the second and third offense that is really problamatic.
It sounds as though you might be getting a good arrangment with that. However, I would have to look it up and advise you after putting some deeper thought into it. Feel free to give me a call. Joseph Chancellor 617 725-2675 www.chancellorlaw.com
Since you're a traveler, might want to check whether a "wet reckless" will prohibit you from entering Canada without consulate approval.
Hi,
Mass does not have 'wet reckless'. If you were to blow a .07 or lower in Mass on a BT - you would not be charged with drunk driving. If you are concerned about your license - you should first clear it up with California and then deal with Mass. I have a lot of experience dealing with the RMV and client's with out of state DUI's and wet recklesses if you want to give me a call. Find Defective & Dangerous Products Lawyers |
