Full Conversation

I got a DUI 16 years ago in Virginia. I could not afford to get my license back because of the interlock expense. I have had a suspended license for almost two decades. I have not had a drink of alcohol in over a decade. How likely am I to get the court to consider my debt to society paid and remove the interlock requirement?
It sounds like you might have a strong case to request a modification of the interlock requirement given your long period without alcohol. To proceed, you may need to:
- Petition the court where your case was handled.
- Provide evidence of your sobriety.
- Demonstrate financial hardship.
Would you like assistance connecting with a local lawyer who can help with this process?
Yes. The court was in Williamsburg, Va. So I guess the lawyer would have to be from that area too? I don't know how that works.
In your case, since the court was in Williamsburg, VA, it would be beneficial to have a lawyer familiar with Virginia's laws and the local court system. Would you like me to help connect you with a local lawyer who can assist you with your case?
How much do you think it will cost? It might cost more than the interlock itself, but would save me a lot of hassle.

I'm having to sell my house because of a foreclosure. I should have enough to live on for *-3 years, but then I'll be in very serious financial trouble if I can't turn things around in that time. So I'd rather keep my expenses and burdens as low as possible. Losing my house is basically a consequence of the DUI as well, so I really, really won't be making that mistake again.
