Re: eleven year old dui case

Your court and offense history is not exactly first rate but you may be able to do something. Do you still have an appointed attorney? If so, I cannot answer this inquiry; instead, you will have to see your attorney. Whatever you do, it will require some intense case review and negotiation to keep you out of jail. You simply must stop drinking and driving, have no more open container violations and appear for court. This case is so old that the courts will normally try and close the case with jail time and fines. Good Luck!
