i got a DUI when i was 16 and now a second at 20 do i have to serve the 30 days in jail?
Question Details: i did all the classes and programs and stuff and they told me that my first DUI was sealed and couldn't be used against me, but they pulled it up at arraignment and they are trying to hold it against me. I also have not been in trouble for 3 years, if i go for 30 days i lose everything my job i semester in college ect anything i can do?
Other programs may be available to you if it is not possible to keep your previous DUI out of the record. You need to consult an attorney with all of the facts necessary to make that decision. Call if you have any questions 2032346352.
I'm not a Connecticut attorney, so I don't know how the first-offender law in your state works. But in most places, this sort of program might seal your record for most purposes, but not for a repeat offense of the same thing: You only get one chance to be a first offender, as far as diversion programs go.
You should hire a lawyer to defend you. If there's any way to keep your first DUI out of this case, he or she will know how.
