Legal Question in DUI Law in California

Dui and robbery

Hi, I was stopped and given a DUI on July 7th right before my birthday on july 20th.....I was 19 when I got the DUI and im 20 years old now. My court date for the DUI is september 7th but before I got the chance to go I got caught stealing a 20 dollar watch at Wal Mart and spent friday-monday at West Valley Detention Center. I was realeased and given another court date. Im scared that I can get sent back to jail and want to know if that can happen? What are the consequences?...Im also a permanent resident since I was 3 years old.

Re: Dui and robbery

The cases are independent of each other, so you need to handle each properly to minimize the penalties of each. They both have potential jail, but a plea bargain may avoid that. Permanent residents shouldn't face deportation like an illegal would. Contact me if you want legal representation.
