Re: dui while on probation
What will happen in Contra Costa Court depends upon a number of factors, which include the facts of the underlying case. If alcohol was involved in the domestic violence case, you should immediately start a comprehensive alcohol rehibilitation program. Convincing the court that you have seen the errors of you way and you are now turning over a new leaf will help to minimize the damage. Violation of probation allows the court to impose the maximum sentence for the offense for which you are on probation.
