More details to this question:
I got a dui hired a lawyer saw him for about 1 hour he told me to plead no contest. No problem, then ask me if i ever had a previous dui. I told him yes 28 years ago in newyork, he proceeded to talk to prosecutor as i sit in the hallway came back out with my ple double. I no he told him because if the prosecutor knew , he would have known i had 3 previous DUI's in NY within 3 years . Not that that matters now . Thats how i no the prosecutor didn't no till MY LAWYER, $3500. For this lawyer too double my sentence this cannot be right. I would have been better off alone. Total cost of this $15000

Generally, prosecutors run prior convictions from your traffic record as well as a NCIC record (national), so you can't be sure the prosecutor didn't know (or would have known). In any event, once the court conviction gets to FLHSMV, they will impose a license suspension, and lack of ability to get a work permit, regardless of what happened in court. 3rd DUI conviction
