1 Answer from Attorneys
You could get one to five years (or more) for this DUI, the citation for which may be coming in the mail. If you voluntarily admit yourself for in-patient treatment, you get leniency from the judge. Before that, you need to consult directly with a criminal attorney in your area. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation. Let them see your criminal background information and the facts of your most current arrest.
Good luck
