Driving is an issued priveledge, not a given right. This is not a debate. This is about your future. A public defender will plea out and still make the charge stick so the state still gets your money and lots of it. Get a dui attourney. I totally agree!!!! for god sake dont go in their alone!!!!

A public defender will plea out and still make the charge stick so the state still gets your money and lots of it.

Hummmm too bad you did not refuse the breatlyzer, they pretty much have you on the charges like the rest said seek legal counsel. In CT refusing a breathlyzer is an admission of guilt, the penaltys are worse! here in oregon refusing to blow is a automatic license suspension of one yr...... also happened to me too a blow test 1 hr 15 min later... after i was pulled over... course that half a drink i swigged before leaving the bar and pulled over 2 min later and 2 min till my house had soaked in after that 1 hour and half.... blew right at the limit.... and i had an attorney and it didnt help for anything but to go to diversion classes at a delayed point after i got my license back to get to the classes..... best of luck 5k later, lost job<driving job> and my home <was unable to find a job fast enough>

Ct wants the money. They know how the system works. You have no choice but to get a dui attourney to post a continuance for you. They know you didn't have enough time and are hoping you show up without legal counsel so they can get maximum fine out of you. ONLY ADVICE- GET A DUI ATTOURNEY TODAY! He will post a continuance for you and defend you on retainer. Get that phone book out right now. Do not hesitate. Write down all circumstances. Explain clearly, and shop around for the lawyer.

I heard that I can play my accelerated rehabilitation card when I go to court because I have never been in trouble before

I understand what you are saying, but I work in substance abuse, and every person I see for a dui lawyer or not, gets the same charges.....

i only had one court date...... they sentence there.... and i had a extra one with the dmv to fight to not lose my license for the 3 months that i did to try to keep my job.... then there is the thing you have to go to victums panel.. and the place you gotta go to to set you up with diversion classes... then 4 months or so of classes... and all that stuff you have to pay for....if its a first offense that is... so after a yr and you do everything you are told to do it never goes on a criminal record... but it will your driving record.... and the key is to keep paying your insurance there even when you cant drive pay it.... cause if you let it lapse they will run you and you will have to have a sr22 for a yr and that comes to 10k more than you would of had to pay if you keep it running continually
