Hello, my girlfriend is 18 and just recently got a DUI. Here are the specifics I know so far.
-She failed to stop on red while initiating a right turn.
-She took the field test, breath test, and blood test. I know her results for the breath were a .17 BAC.
-She was charged with 6 alcohol related charges including an extreme DUI and her car was impounded.
I am trying to help her figure out what to do to limit her penalties. She has a clean record other then a speeding ticket. She doesn't have enough cash to hire legal counsel. Here are my questions.
-Can she get any legal counsel with out the court saying she had previous counsel and cannot hire a public defender?
-Do public defenders help much?
-Are their any premptive measures she can take such as pre enrolling in classes or anything that will help sway the court to reduce the sentance?
-Is there any other advice anyone may have that will help in this situation?
