https://www.avvo.com/attorney-answers/53548-wi-jay-nixon-1529181/answers.html QUESTION POSTED ON AVVO.COM: What do you think will be my outcome?
I have a speeding and operating with controlled substance in WI. No drugs detected and alcohol and they are still trying to get me with the charges. Offered me 6 months revocation and finding me with no contest. I had no drugs detected from laboratory report. There probable cause would be my green tongue, red eyes, and twitching eyes. Well, I was tired, which I kept explaining and the green tongue which I have always had. I cannot do jury trial anymore because I guess I didn’t know I had to do it within 10 days. So stuck with pretrial; now, what happens next?
ANSWER BY ATTY. JAY K. NIXON, WITH OFFICES IN BOTH KENOSHA & JANESVILLE, WI AND OVER 40 YEARS’ LEGAL EXPIRIENCE: If you’ve already botched things by self-representation, why on earth would you think that situation might improve if you continue? Don’t assume that nothing more could still go wrong because it still can, especially at your trial. What you really need is therefore an experienced, local, criminal defense Attorney, who can file a formal appearance in the case and then fully represent you. That might include a motion to extend whatever deadlines you have already blown on your own. Then, your chances that the Judge might allowing a redo might even improve (but no guarantees).
