My friend has nothing at all. They gave him nothing whatsoever. he does not have the DS367. He did speak with the Hearing Officer yesterday and he didn't seem interested in anything other than the .15 BAC. He did say if my friend had a split done and determined that the blood was not his he...

The evidence they have against him. On the telephone they asked him if he wanted what they had and he said yes. They also stated it was his right to have it 10 days prior to the hearing and that by law they must get it to him by then.

Hi Carl, It is now 10 days before the DMV hearing and he had not received his request for discovery from the DMV. Is there a reason for this? Does the fact that they did not send it as required make a difference?

Forgot to ask, what gives the other guys attorney the right to seek insurance co information to get payment and my friend can't even get a copy of anything? Should he not at least have access to something or be able to talk to someone?

Are you sure they would not refund it if he was not found guilty of DUI. Then it would just be a collision which is paid by the normal revenue streams. I'm a little confused. A private attorney he spoke to did say there would be a refund if the case was won. He also advised him not to pay it...

Thanks again for your response Carl and Raskalnikov. Got another one for ya. My friend just received a bill from the police dept. for the cost of the stop which they consider over and above routine services paid through usual revenue resources. The bill is for $519.92. They claim this is for his...

By add up real fast you mean cost I take it. Can these things also be done with a PD if he requests certain things to be done like a blood split, breathalyzer calibration etc? He also found out yesterday that the other party suffered extremely minor soft tissue injury that did not require an...

If he wants to make a zealous defense, he'll need an expert and a team of experts ... all very expensive, and even then the odds are slim. Are you speaking of the PD in this statement?

He did and they all slam the public defenders and say they or a private attorney is the only way to go. They always go on to say they will spend ten plus hours on the case and a PD only ten minutes. They go on to say they get calibration, check the recordings of the arrest, make sure all...

Hi Carl, I realize I may have asked you this before but do you believe it is necessary for my friend to hire a private attorney or will the outcome pretty much be the same in your opinion?

Hey Carl, Guess who? Do you know if my friend asks for a blood split or some of the blood if either drugs or alcohol will still be in there? Does it stay or eventually dissipate? Thanks for your time Sir.

Thanks Carl. I guess he has to give that a shot.

Thanks again for your time. With regard to the DMV hearing. It can only be requested 15 days after the initial hearing. He may not even have been found innocent in court by then. Would it be worth it before his case even gets tried? The whole blood thing would also need to be done before the DMV...

Hi Carl, Yes it's me again. Sorry to keep coming to you with this but it's getting more interesting. The arraignment is tomorrow but charges haven't even been filed yet so there will be no court appearance. The interesting part is my friend admitted to me that he feels he does have a problem...

Thanks again Carl.

Thanks Carl, A year? What if someone is in custody? Does that change it? He's not in custody, I'm just curious. Test results are back so that can't be it. Remember, I was shocked because they stated there was alcohol in his system? It must still be under review. I seriously doubt they're not...

Hi Carl, I read a couple of other posts by you concerning how long the DA has to file charges and they didn't really fit my situation. My friend called the DA's office yesterday and was told the paperwork was there but nothing has been filed and there is a chance nothing will be when he appears...

I just sent you my last message and didn't see that yours had come through. I see what you're saying. I guess where I'm stuck is the fact that the officer specifically told him I am approaching you because of the call. That is to say he would not have if the call was never made. So many sites...

Hey Carl, I just realized my last post just really rehashes the last post and your answers. Now I am actually finding conflicting info on the web and disputes. The PD's seem to agree but there are sited cases that indicate otherwise. Please disregard my last posting.

I'm sure the "friend" and the "writer" can be one in the same. ;) The bar association did say that this can be addressed via a fee dispute resolution which is very informal and at no cost. If the bar does decide that the attorney did not adequately address the 911 call and the way he was stopped...
