What will happen if I work out a deal rather then going to trial?
In a first offense case, it is very likely that we can work out a deal for the minimum penalty available under the law. The case will be continued without a finding for one year. The judge will suspend you license for 45 days (consecutive with the 180 day breath test refusal or 30 day failure suspension), and you will pay a number of fees and fines. The conditions of your probation will be that you attend and complete the alcohol education program. If you hire me to appear at your arraignment, I can often get the deal worked out that day, so you don’t have to come back a month or more later. That way, you can get back on the road with a hardship license as quickly as possible.
