Well a lawyer can look at their case, but blowing over 0.20% is going to be hard to beat. Your best bet is likely ARD, but even then you're going to get at least a hard 30 day suspension of your license.

However, hold the phone. Am I to understand you are still driving on a suspended license because you were caught driving without a license? Boy this is another can of worms. First off, that may sour the DA from offering you ARD (it's entirely at his discretion). Second, you can guarantee you're going to lose your license for another year just on that before they even get around to assessing you penalties for drunk driving.

Thank you so much for your quick response .. i blew a 0.014 . No i haven't been driving i must have confused you by my horrible typing. The reason i was suspended to begin with a year ago was because i was driving without a license. Since then i have not drove. And i wasn't driving when i had to take the breathalyzer they came into my house. They called my landlord and made him unlock my door and they just walked in without permission. There excuse was " it was an emergency we heard screaming" which was a lie because that's how they are trying to get away with coming into my house without permission. the cops around here are diiiirrrttyy. They do not play by the rules at all. Any other helpful ideas you could offer, And how much do you think a lawyer would cost for something like this?

Oh by the way

Although i was tested on the breathalyzer it doesn't say i was in the report i received. One of my other friends was also breathalyzed that night and her ticket says she was and also says what she blew all mine says is i admitted to being drunk, Which i didn't do. Is there ANYWAY i can get around this please help. Also if i was to plead innocent what would my chances be of actually being charged innocent. Im seriously begging i really need this help without me having the ability to drive it will be pretty much impossible for me to support my kids considering i am supposed to be taking a job soon that is way to far for me to walk too i know i shouldn't have drank anything but i was without my kids for a weekend and made a stupid decision please help me

So, what you are saying is you blew.014 not.14. Also, this was never indicated on the report. The only evidence is the statement that says you were drinking?If this is the case than go get your license back.
