1.Question: I got my first DUI and I was approved for Pretrial Diversion program. I am in Orange county and unfortunately, I missed my appointment for signing the contract on Monday. I can’t get a hold of my lawyer to see if I can reschedule. Is there anything I can do?
Answer: Contact someone at the Pretrial Diversion department and explain your reasoning for missing the appointment and they might be able to reschedule the appointment.
2.Question: I have legal documents saying that I live where I do. But it’s with my girlfriends’ mom who threatens to kick me out all the time. Can she?
