Mr. Hawkins is correct. He is also one of the top guns for DUI defense around. I would only add that the long term cost to you far exceed the total of the Court's fines. If you are placed on probation, you will pay close to $600 for probation alone. Many insurance companies will raise their rates, so that you could have to pay hundreds of dollars more for auto insurance over the next five years; If this arrest has defenses (no, you are not guilty simply because of your BAC, it may not be admissible) and you choose not to fight it, it will be used against you if you EVER have another DUI. That makes the other DUI practically indefensible.
