    There's nothing you people can't tell me to feel like a worthless piece of criminal scum that I haven't already told myself. Thanks.

    First Time DUI in IL and Feeling Overwhelmed

    To anyone still around: had my 2nd court appearance today. They said we'll come back in November. I have to sit for another month with this over my head and I hate it. Also, the person I hit has filed a personal injury claim and I am worried I will get my charges upgraded.

    Will do. I'm still scared and nervous, but I guess if the attorney says it it's some good news right?

    First Time DUI in IL and Feeling Overwhelmed

    My attorney did mention that the probability of me going to jail is equal to winning the lottery. That's one of the things he did tell me. I've already completed the first part of my education classes voluntarily.

    First Time DUI in IL and Feeling Overwhelmed

    Yes. I want to ask him all these questions but he is a very busy attorney and I don't want to bother him. I do not want to look like a whackjob.

    First Time DUI in IL and Feeling Overwhelmed

    I got into a fender bender (no one was hurt or killed) and blew close to 3x the .08 at the station, I also had an open container. Is supervision even an option for me? This is the first time I have ever gotten in trouble with the law. I have a clean record with no priors. What should I expect?
