Re: first time dui
She faces the loss of her license, higher insurance costs and having to take months of alcohol programs. As the other attorney stated she should retain an attorney to represent her. She should move quickly as the dmv will revoke her license if her blood alcohol level was .08 or higher. An attorney can help her deal with this matter.
