court notice, what to expect????
ok so i got a DUI back in 2002 and went deferred and got 5 years probation along with alot of other ---- that included 2 years alcohol treatment, 1 year ignition interlock. well i got a court summons in the mail the other day that says "sentancing" for "DUI". should i be worried or you think its the court date that they set to dismiss the case since i haven't gotten in trouble since then? ---- man i can't remember getting in any trouble or anything but who knows. just dont want to end up like old boy on here that did 160 days for probation payments.
what do you think its about? 5 year hearing or ---- me in teh corn hole hearing?

Re: court notice, what to expect????
sounds like the 5yr hearing. Have you gone in to see your probation officer when you were supposed to? I know friends that never went to see their officer cause they thought they were off already and they recieved a hearing notice. They were just given another 6months probation for it but they're lucky.
if you're that worried take a lawyer in with you. It really shouldn't cost that much cause they're just making an appearance. Actually deffinately take a lawyer in with you, couple hundred now is much cheaper then getting fucked into sentencing you shouldn't have.
And ignition interlocks blow. My car always breaks down right before I'm supposed to go get it 'serviced' so it'll work for another month. Just spun a bearing last night and I'm scheduled friday, ----.

Deferred means they put it off five years to make sure you haven't been an asshat. DEFINITELY dig out your paperwork on it to make sure you don't get screwed by some filing error, but 95% you have nothing to worry about.
Hey, sounds like you learned your lesson if you've kept your nose clean for five years. Props.

I wouldn't worry about the court thing you have coming up btw. Like JD said, when the Judge sees that you have been on the straight and narrow for this long they are going to say good job now gtfo of here.
IMO it is to "legally" remove you from probation.
That's what I meant to say the first time around

Re: court notice, what to expect????
ya if the judge notices you been clean for 5 years and did all the ---- they ask there usually really nice and you get out fast and easy. i was suppose to be on probation for 2 years for eluding the police, got it droped to wreckless driving had a fine, had 240 hours of community service and wasnt suppose to get any tickets. well i got all that ---- done after getting arrested for a warrent because i didnt know i was suppose to pay the fine every month i thought i had a year. and after that they droped my probation period and i was done with shitty *** court. ---- i hated that.
