Okay so this is the deal. About a 1 1/2 yrs ago I got a DUI/marijuana possesion charge in Colorado (douglas county). I was moving out of the state and the DA offered me a plea, but said that I needed to bring him proof that I was living in NYC (lease) so they could treat me as an out of state offender and I could complete my drug/alcohol classes and community service there. I was scheduled to return for a court date which I never made due to some medical circumstances. I tried multiple times to get in touch with the clerk's office, mailed four letters, etc. I spent entire weeks on hold on the phone with the clerk's office trying to talk to someone about my situation. No one ever got back to me, and I stayed in NYC until recently. Now I moved back to CO and I am worried what the consequences of my actions will be. Can I expect jail time? Should I turn myself in? Also I don't have money for a lawyer so if anyone wants to do a pro bono case it would be greatly appreciated (we can work something out in return). Thanks for reading.
