The DUI can be up to 90 days and $1000 fine for the first offense. Had you not fled, you probably would have gotten off with a modest fine and community service for that. Your license will be suspended for 30-90 days. You will have to pay for a presentence investigation as well.
Fleeing a police officer is a serious thing. It's not a "driving offense" at all. You can get up to three years for it and a fine of $5000 or both. In addition, there are signficant implications to a felony conviction. You don't want this.
You need a lawyer big time. One that specializes in DUI / Fleeing cases (that's not an uncommon combination of specialties).
