What right do I have by not stepping out of my car while in my parking space and then was pulled from my car?

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
If you were told by the police to exit your vehicle, you should have exited your vehicle. If you did not and had to be "pulled out by the police" you can be charged with resisting arrest, obstructing a police officer, etc. I suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.... Read More

In west Virginia is there a time limit on when a person can be charged with a DUI involving a MVA ?

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
I do not practice in West Virginia, so I can't say with certainty, but a month is nothing, especially when there was an accident. You don't say whether anyone was hurt as a result of the accident. If so, that could delay the filing.

How can my three misdameanors be changed to felonies after I’ve already made a plea of not guilty to them?

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by John J. Carney (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
If the police charge you with a misdemeanor and then determine that they are really felonies they can indict you on the felony charges. They probably did not see your prior DWI conviction that makes these DWI and AUO felonies. The Reckless Driving charge is still a misdemeanor. You are facing a prison term and I would recommend that you retain private counsel and not get arrested for AUO or DWI again as that would almost certainly result in a prison sentence.... Read More

What would happen if I was stopped for speeding and eventually charged for speeding, DWI and failure to yield?

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by John J. Carney (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
The complaint does not need to indicate anything about the traffic violations. You will need a good lawyer to try and get a DWAI violation as opposed to a DWI misdemeanor.

Can I be pulled over at a DUI checkpoint without being suspected of being intoxicated?

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by John J. Carney (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
The police can use a DWI checkpoint and there is nothing you can do about it. The fact that you had a gun caused them to check you out more carefully. Next time do not consent to any search as your wife did and do not tell them anything other than your license and registration information.

Will my Commercial Driver’s License be suspended after 11 months case dismissed with all charges?

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by Jeff Fengcheng Yeh (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
No. The DMV suspends your license independent of what the court does. It's called a DMV Hearing, and it sounds like you probably didn't even request one. You need to hire a DUI specialist ASAP.
