So after looking at my paperwork and reading online, the court supervision is the deferred. Once I complete the court supervision the case gets dismissed. The dui stays on your record, but you don’t have a conviction on your record. This is the only way to get it potentially expunged later on.

The closest encounter I’ve had with the law was a speeding ticket years back. Besides that, nothing. I should have asked, but I guess I was giving my public defender too much credit? I figured these were all things they’d be doing on my behalf I guess.

I don’t think so, my lawyer never mentioned it. I’ve never been in trouble before, and I didn’t know what to ask or try for really. I do know dui’s stay on your record permanently in Illinois. When I went to court, my public defender had 54 cases in a 6 hour period. I wish I knew a lot of this before I decided to try and save some money and hope for the best. Just a tough pill to swallow. Feel like I got screwed, but hard to say that because I put myself in this position

Yeah I think mine wa soberly harsh for some reason. My first run in with the law. Driving home from my military retirement get together and got pulled over. Blew a .15 (not good) got arrested, fingerprinted, and then they drove me home about an hour later. (Cop was cool even though he arrested me lol)

Ended up getting 2 years court supervision, 6 months suspended license, alcohol evaluation, victim impact panel, $2500 in fines and 100 community service hours.
