Violation of Probation ~ old charge DUI. New charge: Under the influence

[wedrowned]

Los Angeles, California

3 years ago I was convicted for a DUI (of a controlled substance). I was placed on probation in which time I attended and completed a rehabiliation program followed by a sober living.

I was nearing the end of my probational period when I caught my new case. Around 21 days ago I was arrested for an 11-5-50, under the influence of a controlled substance.

I have court in a month, and can't control my apprehension. What type/kind of punishment am I looking at? Obviously, an extension of probation is expected. How long are these extensions, generally?

Can these charges (including my DUI) be expunged after my probational period?

Yes, they can probably be expunged ... but that will be up to a court.

I should also add that immediately after my arrest, and subsequent jail time, I moved into a sober living. This, I'm sure, will affect the results of my hearing?
