Missed DUI Court Date, Warrant Issued - Illinois?
My husband was given a DUI on Jan 14th, as well as several other moving violations. He went to his first court date and was given a continuance bc we did not yet have an attorney. He was supposed to go back on March 24th. Well He told me he went and got another continuance, bc still no lawyer, Turns out he lied to me about that. So because he didn't show for the 2nd court date, a warrant was issued for his arrest. He now has court on April 30th. We do not have any money for a lawyer, and I'm afraid if he shows up he will be thrown in jail. What will happen, does anyone know? Any advice? Thank you Brooke for you ignorant comment about my husband. You must be single Also, This is his 1st DUI. He rec'd Moving violations for improper lane change and failing to use a turn signal- duihelpnow.info
- He needs to call the court and settle the Failure to appear. Hiding from this will not work; amd come Wed, he's either going to have it worked out or go to jail anyway. Call legal aid in the phone book
- Tell you husband to take responsibility for is ignorant actions and call the court to get a court appointed lawyer. If he gets pulled over he will go to jail as well. He needs to do something instead of pretending it doesn't exist. I am guessing he is gonna be in some trouble though
- If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to him by the court.
