Pretty good. I would try to get a suspended imposition of sentence and one to two years on probation. You will not do any jail time or be fined. If you complete the probation, no conviction will go on your record.

Depends upon the facts of the case, what your driving was like and what the level of your breath test was. The higher the breath test , the less likely the reduction.

You need to hire a DUI specialist to explore your alternatives.

Your question really depends on the facts of your case and the location of the DUI (as in where you will go to court). You should definitely consult with an attorney and discuss the merits of your case to see whether your facts reflect a chance that your case could be reduced.

Depends. Need facts. How was driving? Why pulled over? What did you say to cop? What were FSEs? Did you take test? What? What results?

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. Since we do not have all the facts, it is impossible to give a completely accurate answers. What was your blood alcohol level? Did you take breath or blood test? Why were you initially pulled over?

There are a lot of variables to take into consideration. From why they pulled you over in the first place, to field sobriety tests, BAC results, and the ability of your attorney to attack all three. The court and county you are in can also play a role. Contact a DUI attorney in your area to discuss your specific case in more detail. There is also information about DUI law at 1duilawyer.com/dui . I have been successful at getting DUI charges reduced to lesser offenses, even in cases where there was a very high BAC level. Although there are many similarities between DUI cases, there are also a lot of variables. Make sure to get a DUI attorney that is familiar with DUI defense, preferably one who focuses his or her practice in that area.

This depends on the facts and the prosecutor.

Usually, if requires a weak case against you. In most cases that would be a low blood alcohol level with no bad driving.

Between little to none. DUIs are far too scrutinized by everyone. The days of having these charges reduced are long gone.
