What actions should I take legally to better my chances of not ruining my career and future?
Asked on Sep 10th, 2016 on DUI/DWI - California
More details to this question:
As a 17 year old student, I was arrested last night for a DUI dealing with marijuana. I feel terrible for what I did and feel complete responsibility and guilt. My life is being changed around, due to this eye-opening and complete act of stupidity. I do not have my license yet, but only my permit (I do not believe I even obtain the right to drive for a while), but out of curiosity I was wondering how long I will have to wait to drive again.

Instead of worrying about how long you won't be able to drive, why not focus your energy and attention on how you can avoid being convicted? The consequences for a drug DUI are the same as those of an alcohol DUI. However, drug DUIs are much harder to prove, because there isn't a specific concentration that the state deems as impairment. With that said, you need to hire a DUI specialist, because by yourself the prosecutor simply won?t budge.
