You are charged with either a felony or misdemeanor. In this area of criminal law, you can be convicted based solely on the "opinion" of the arresting officer.

The penalties for DUI crimes are severe. There are mandatory jail sentences, fines, classes, probation, and other sanctions as punishment.

You can also be subject to "enhancements" and "special allegations" (extra punishments). All this depends on the charges and the facts of your case. Stay tough.

Don't be cheated in the process. An attorney can prepare you for success in court and at the DMV. Be aware that the DMV will revoke your license unless you fight.
