Legal Question in DUI Law in Iowa

Owi

I was charged and arrested in January 2008 with a OWI. I was supposed to complete a alchohol evaluation. I failed to do so. I tried to at least get it started in July when i called to have an apptmnt set up. There was a 2 month waiting list. My evaluation is set for sept 11. My court date was today. I went and was sentanced to 20 days because i had not completed this course. I'm supposed to serve from DEC 12 - Jan 2. I'm going to miss the holidays. Since it has gone this far is there anything I can do? I'd rather pay a lawyer a bunch of money if i can get out of this...

You may be able to get a break if you get all the requirements done between now and the time you're supposed to go to jail. Any lawyer would have told you to get it done before you ran into this kind of trouble.
