4th dui offense
The judge may consider all your previous DUI. The law says you cannot get PBJ if last conviction was within last 5 years. It depends on the County and Judge if you can get another PBJ when your last was 10 years ago. Now is the time to consult with a lawyer.
Re: 4th dui offense
You need to speak with an experienced DUI attorney. The fact that you hold a CDL, and that you blew a .17 complicate matters, but the fact that it has been 11 years since your last may be of some help.
