I rejoined because I can sorta help in this situation.
First things is: You're screwed.
•You will have about $3,000 in fines
•You will lose your license for a year
•Depending on the state you could have to partake in court mandated alcohol education classes. ($50 a class x 20 classes)
•Your auto insurance will go up significantly. $1200 a year to $3600 is typical.
•Possibly 100 hours of community service or morgue workOptions:
Stick with the public defender unless you really, really have money for a lawyer. He can help with the below and reduce finds
1. You can keep a license (restricted license) to drive 'to and from work' or 'to and from school' - A public defender should have no problem getting this accomplished. Especially if you have no record of criminal activity or drug use. This does not mean you can drive to the grocery store or an old designer friends house.
2. If your state does not require a court mandated alcohol education, offer to enroll in one out of good faith
3. Offer to do community service if not required by the court.
Your #1 goal should be to get a 'Restricted License' but I can assure you your insurance will go up significantly and you have to have full coverage.
