background chck

I have been on probation for 2 yrs my case will be dismissed in may 17, 2004, if I dont have any new cases. I got a DWAI but pleaded not guilty, if the DA in California does a back ground check will that come up or am i ok until I go to trial and they find me guilty? I have been reciding in Colorado now for 2 years,

Thank you for your posting.

As you might expect when filing cases, the DA's office normally would run a "rap sheet" on you, to find out if you have priors or are on probation, and may notify or file a probation violation if you are and pick up a new case.

It's best to get an attorney to handle the more severe consequences of having a prior, and the probation violation.

I hope that this information helps, but if you want more information, have further questions, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at rmiller@expertlawfirm.com. It's my pleasure to assist you in any way that I can.

If you were on probation when you got the new charge, you could face probation violation. Yes, the DA will find it automatically, and it will be factored into the outcome.
