bummer.. you wreck or just get pulled over? did they let you out or did you have to get bailed? good luck in court, just dont be a dumbass and take the rehab and whatever, its better then jailtime. dont listen to the douches who talk about drunk drivers being the scum of the earth and blah blah blah. theres a difference between being a dirtbag habitual drunk who drives trashed all the time and normal guys who really arent even impaired and get a bad break.

I like to think of myself as a "good guy". Now say I get drunk, get behind the wheel and accidently drive my car into an SUV with a mom and her 2 kids. Kids die.
Am I still a good guy, even though what I did was a mistake?
To the OP- Get a lawyer and cross your fingers.
You "knew better" yet... you got behind the wheel anyway?

What if that same guy 6 hrs earlier just got done saving you, your wife and your children from a burning house! Is he still a bad guy? People make bad choices! Thats all part of being human... Now for those that are serial drunk drivers and the law cant seem to keep them out of a car then they should burn in hell!

You made a bad choice, you are lucky as hell that you didnt hurt anyone in the process. Now this will hopefully be a lesson in what you do in the future because you have one and alot of people that did the same thing werent as lucky. Good luck with everything.

Just take this as a learning experience. This DOES NOT make you a bad person, you fucked up and got caught. 99.9% of the people that point at you and call you a piece of ****, have and will commit the same crime, but are yet to get caught. Get a good lawyer, and keep your head on straight and stay out of trouble..this was an expensive mistake and could have been worse, learn from it bro.

I hope everything works out for you! Its a hard road.. My Ex-wife got 1 before we divorced and we got screwed! She opted for community serv and classes rather then having to pay but it turned out that it would have been cheaper and better off if she would have just paid it.... Shes a piece of ****! She even got a few other DWI's and hit a tree!

OP - Sorry to hear about what happen, but the reality is we all have to accept responsibilities for our actions. My best friend used a guy name Hunter Biederman out of Frisco for his DWI in Plano. I will advise it cost him around $5K-$6K after it was said and done. But I had co-worker a few years back spend $10K to get his dismissed. I learn my lesson about drinking and driving from my best friend, cost him not being able to be a police officer pretty much anywhere in TX. He now works as a officer in VA, but wish he could be here hands down. Just as you he is a good guy, but the choice he made came with a snowball effect for something he loves. For him the outcome better then another friend who was killed on his bike by a drunk driver who pulled out in front of him. The driver was underage, drunk, and high at the time of the accident. You never know what the outcome may be.
Good Luck with everything!

We all make mistakes, some big some small. I have heard from all the classes in the military that it ends up costing you about $10k overall from a DUI. Take it like a man, and keep in mind some of the consequences had someone gotten hurt. Im sure you will learn from this event.

Lawyers I have had bad luck with lawyers but may be you will have good luck. All they want is your money I would step back and see how it all pans out and at the last moment get a lawyer.
I dont think you are a bad person and I hate people on here that think that makes you a murderer. If I lost a family member to a drunk driver or a drunk driver killed me I honest to god would not wish them any jail time or bad karma. Now if I lost a family member to a repeated ofender I would go freakin berzerker. People make mistakes and unless you were a sheltered bible thumping weirdo everyone has gotten behind the wheel and driven their vehicles after having a couple drinks. Sometimes I think police officers take things way too far nowadays. Back when I was a teenager there were circumstances where I knew of people getting pulled over and the cop just giving them a ride home or calling their parents to come get them. Now they throw the book at you because their county or city needs that revenue, Its not about protecting and serving anymore but collecting and profitting the city or county.

I would definitely find one of the best lawyers in your STATE, not just surrounding areas.
Ive never had one (knock on wood) but if i did i would try to get it resolved quickly.
We have no idea how much you drink, but make sure you tell everyone that you dont drink alone and you dont wake up in the morning thinking about having a drink.
It doesnt matter if you drink once a year or a case per night, your still considered a drunk in the courts eyes.
It might not seem like a big deal, but its against the law, and you broke the law and just got caught this time.
Hope you know the judge, prosecuting attorney , and the file clerk.
If it makes you feel better, I will drink a few tonight on your behalf
