QUESTION
Can I get a new referral to the county I transferred to for my DUI or do I have to go back to the sentencing court?
Asked on Aug 14th, 2013 on DUI/DWI - Michigan
More details to this question:
The judge granted that I could transfer counties with my DUI classes. I misread the paperwork and didn't enroll in time. Can I go to the county courthouse that I transferred to, or do I need to go to the original courthouse that I was sentenced?

When you are sentenced by a court and that sentence involves some sort of probation or treatment requirement, you must report your progress or lack thereof to that same court. Simply because you are allowed to take classes in a different jurisdiction doesn't mean that a new court will be monitoring your treatment. Go back to the sentencing court.

It's best to go to the court where you were sentenced. Explain your mistake and ask that the time period be re-set.

You have to go to the original court. They are the one with the case.

You must ask for a re-referral from the court that granted permission to do the school in the other county (the court that sentenced you originally).

You have to go back to the sentencing court. You should hire a lawyer to go to court to recall the warrant. A lawyer can do this without you present, so it is less risky for you.
