I'm a 22 year old college student who made a terrible decision 1 night. I was pulled over and charged with DUI (blew 0.1) and Reckless/Negligent Driving. I also have a pending Driving on a Suspended License charge from early this year (license was reinstated before DUI). I understand that I face up to a year in jail for DUI but based on EXPERIENCE (not a state DUI law fact sheet), what kind of punishment am I possibly looking at?

Also, I was in the enlistment process for the USMC at the time the DUI. Although it will be near impossible for me to enlist now, I still am working towards it. Would a judge be willing to help me by expunging the charge from my record to help me serve my country? I understand my mistakes and would be willing to plea out or do extra jail time to get to be able to accomplish my goal of serving.

    A judge will be willing to reduce it to an infraction with a fine and drug and alcohol counseling so that it does not prevent you from entering the service. If you do not have an attorney ask for one and the attorney will be able to negotiate it down to an infraction.}{
