Legal Question in DUI Law in California

d.u.i. class

After not attending the first opportunity, my wife completed a DUI course as directed by her local court. She was told it was her ''Last chance'' and now the class (state funded, I assume) is denying that she completed the course. They have no records to indicate she did not comply, nor did they report to the DMV, a �Drop� As previously done after she failed the first given opportunity. What action can we take

To ensure the re-issuance of her drivers license?

Re: d.u.i. class

You'll have to prove to the court and to the DMV that your wife did, indeed, take and complete the course. The people who run those programs do make mistakes in their records. There are many ways to "prove" things to other people, and that's what lawyers do for a living. The exact methodology here would require a thorough discussion of all the facts related to your wife's attendance. I suggest you consult with a criminal lawyer. Many lawyers give free consultations. BTW, if your wife doesn't do this, she'll NEVER get her license back from the DMV, and she'll probably violate her DUI probation, which could result in a jail sentence. This is not a small matter.

Does your wife have anything to indicate course completion? Completion of a course is required for re-issuance of a license. If she did complete the course we should be able to help you. Call uis at 1-800-327-4652 for a free consultation.
