DUI

Criminal

I was stopped drunk driving last night. I wasn't just over the limit, I was well over the limit. Very stupid, very selfish. I'm very ashamed of my actions.

I have a court date set for early July where I'll be sentenced.

Having not been to court before and no previous offences, I don't really know how to go about this. I see previous posts where people have hired a lawyer.

Wondering if anyone here been through this process before and can shine any light on it.
