Today I cleared a 10 year old DUI warrant in San Diego. Old warrants are a common reason for calling- I’ve cleared 30 year old warrants. In this case, the client picked up a couple DUI’s in San Diego, but then moved to a different Southern California county, where he was unable to comply with the many onerous requirements of a second time DUI conviction: 96 hours custody, public work service, over three thousand dollar fine.
Fortunately for my client, central San Diego court house is a great place to clear an old warrant because of the frequent tourist and military defendants who may have little or no attachment to San Diego. Today, the client was able to clear his decade old warrant without having to travel to San Diego- saved him a full day at work. It’s not always so easy! He paid 500 dollars.
