Why do I need a DMV hearing after an arrest?

The Law Offices of Virginia L Landry, Inc.

In California if you’ve been arrested for driving under the influence, the Department of Motor Vehicles wants to take away your driver’s license privilege. No driving, at all. If you make a request within 10 days of the date of your arrest, you can challenge the Department of Motor Vehicles -- who basically is looking for was there a reason for the police officer to have detained you? Some reason for the stop? Where you lawfully arrested and are the results accurate and reliable at 0.08 percent or above? I’m Virginia Landry.

Should I have an attorney at my probation violation hearing?

Altman & Altman, LLP

In Massachusetts, I would say you’re basically crazy if you don’t have an attorney represent you in a probation violation. As a matter of fact, very often, you have an absolute right to be represented and if you can’t afford an attorney you’re indigent and the court will assign you somebody. But, the fact is, even if that‘s not the case, and you don’t qualify for court-appointed counsel, you got to have an attorney that’s experienced in dealing with probation violation hearings. They’re they’re animals in and of themselves, different from other criminal cases. And, without that representation, you’re probably going on a voyage. I’m Sam Goldberg, lead counsel for criminal defense matters, at Altman and Altman in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have twenty-five years of experience. If you’re in trouble and you need someone in your corner, who cares, and will fight for you, give me a call.

How long do restraining orders last in Massachusetts?

Altman & Altman, LLP

In Massachusetts, restraining orders are allowed after what's called a 209A hearing. The 209A hearing is really two tiered. First, the complainant comes by themselves, asks the judge for a temporary order - temporary restraining order - keeping the other party away because they're in fear. That's allowed for usually about a week. Then, the defense comes in and there's the second tier. If the defendant loses then, the restraining order that's allowed lasts for about a year. I'm Sam Goldberg, lead Counsel for criminal defense matters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have 25 years of experience. If you're in trouble and you need someone in your court who cares and will fight, give me a call.

Is it possible to create an agreement to avoid an order of protection in Arizona?

The Baker Law Firm LLC

Fortunately in Arizona many courts will allow parties and counsel at an evidentiary hearing on an order of protection, to speak frankly and candidly before the order of protection hearing, to determine whether or not the parties are able to settle their differences outside of court. Luckily, my office has been party, or is counsel to many parties, working out these differences and becoming people who do not have a record of an order of protection. I feel great gratification when I can bring, or our office can assist, in bringing two people of very divergent opinions together to agree not to contact one another, but do it outside of the framework of a court order. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over Arizona in criminal law matters such as drug possession, domestic violence and assault.

How badly will a DUI effect the cost of my car insurance?

The Law Offices of Virginia L Landry, Inc.

Unfortunately, if you have been convicted of driving under the influence in California your insurance rates will be affected. A first-time driving under the influence allegation still entitles you to insurance, and the carriers will cover you for an increased premium. If you are a second or a multiple offender, insurance may not be able to be provided because unless you win the DMV hearing, you no longer have the ability to drive in California. If you are convicted as a multiple offender, your license will be taken away anywhere from one to four years depending upon your particular case. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I have helped when bad things happen to good people. If you have been arrested for DUI, please call.

How long does a sex offender registration last?

Altman & Altman, LLP

If you’re convicted of a sex crime in Massachusetts you will have to register on the sex offender registry. How long you will have to register depends on the circumstances, and particularly, what offense you were convicted of. Also, your prior record. There’s often a hearing if you challenge where they want to post you in terms of the tiers, or the levels of sex offenders, which also determines how long you’ll have to do it. You have the right to counsel to represent you and I would advise that you do that. But, it depends on those circumstances what level. It can be anywhere from the rest of your life to a much shorter time. I’m Sam Goldberg, Lead Counsel for criminal defense matters at Altman & Altman in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
