My question involves criminal law for the state of: Kansas
Hey everybody.
I was an international student studying in kansas from 2007 jan to 2012 july.
I recieved a DUI in dec 2010. I went to court and was put on a pre trial diversion program since that was my first run in with the law. After a few months i failed the diversion program and i was told that the DUI charges will be brought back against me and i will have to go to court again. By the time the court date was set that was in july 2012 i had completed my degree and had to leave the US. Once i left the US which was also in july 2012 a bench warrant was issued with a bond of $25000.
Also in May 2012 just a couple of months before i was set to leave the states i got a lewd and lascivious behavior charge. And before i could go to court for that i had left the US. This resulted in an arrest warrant with a bond of $1500.
Both the warrants, the arrest warrant and the bench warrant are for misdemeanors.
I had forgotten all about this but i recently got married and my wife is a green card holder and wants to apply for my immigration. After she mentioned something it got me thinking about these events and when i looked up my record online it shows the above mentioned warrants.
I already contacted my attorney who handled my DUI cases back in 2010. The question i have is that after my laywer appears for me for the DUI case and gets the warrant quashed. Would i then have to face the DUI charges. And would i be able to pay the fines to get the charge resolved. How much can the court fines end up costing?
