DUI Info

There are many exceptions for enhancements and violations of probation. These are not all the code sections that can be charged for alcohol related offenses and the prosecutor in court may or may not have the authority to deviate from the standard offer. Use this only as a guide, as it is subject to change and there are many factors to consider that may affect the offer in your case.
