Recent Criminal Law Questions

I previously got a DWI 2 yrs ago and another DWI 12 yrs ago. Both counted as 1st offense. Recently I got a public into while out with my clients. My lawyer got an offer for the public intox ticket to be dismissed, after a yr, if I don't get in any trouble for a year. But, I still have to be assessed and do alcohol counseling.

The DWI and PI were in 2 different counties. My question is, do I have to disclose to the counselor my DWI 2 yrs ago? Will they/the court do a record check over only a PI? The offer has already been made to my attorney. I'm trying to avoid having to do as many alcohol classes as possible. Really don't have the free time.

My lawyer couldn't advise me as to whether I should disclose the dwi in my assessment..

CRIMINAL LAW:

I commute between Los Angeles and Greensboro, NC. On my most recent trip to LA on Feb 20, 2013, with my girlfriend (we had lived together 5 years), she and I had an argument. I returned once to LA on March 20th and was welcomed into the house by my girlfriend and her mom and dad. I bought the house in LA in August 2011. Since this time, I quit claim deeded the house to the parents and at present my girlfriend's parents exclusively are on the deed. I plan to return to LA next week and retrieve my clothes and other belongings that are mine (ie I paid 100% of cost of the belongings I will retrieve--of course, I will not take anyone's clothes, personal items, important documents, etc even if I did pay for them). The parents will not be there (the house will be empty), and I plan on retrieving these items then. I still have the key and have never been notified that I am unwelcome. The parents adore me (a language barrier prevents almost all communication through language). I will go without the knowledge of the parents. The reason being that I plan on "breaking up" with my girlfriend (she wants to work it out), and I do not want to encounter my girlfriend while I am there. Is this legal?

thank you very much

If not legal, please advise me how I can make it legal.

My son's father is scheduled to go to jury trial in a few weeks. He had just finished paying his attorney 2 weeks and but unfortunately last week the attorney passed away unexpectedly. He went to court to inform the judge of this and ask for the trial to be postponed until he can get new representation but the judge said no. Can the judge do that? Is there anything that can be filed pro se to get the trial postponed for this reason?
