What is the name of your state? California
Hello,
In 1992, my friend, Joe, got a DUI in California. After finding out his insurance went sky-high, Joe somehow got a fake SSN, then another driver’s license and insurance - under his name, but with the new SSN, a changed middle initial, and a birthday eight days from his real birthday. The DMV figured it out (hard to imagine, isn’t it?). He was told to see a DMV Commissioner about the matter. The commissioner took the fake license, chewed Joe out, said he was going to give Joe a break, and the matter was concluded. At least, that’s what Joe believed.
In mid-May, 2006, a friend who works for the probation department in Santa Barbara, where Joe and I both live, discovered that in 1995, San Diego County issued an arrest warrant in his name, for the above matter. Needless to say, Joe was shocked, since he thought it was finished when he met with the DMV Commissioner, 11 or 12 years ago.
Joe went to San Diego the next day to straighten it out. Now he tells me he’s got a trial set for June 2, and asked me to help him find an attorney in San Diego. Better late than never, I guess. Anyway, how would I go about finding an attorney who will represent him? He owns his own successful kitchen/bath countertop business with three employees, and has no other legal problems. Neither of us knows anyone in San Diego. What sort of punishment or penalty can Joe expect from this? Your help would be most appreciated, as we are both freaking out.
