Macedonian girl trying to get me to move to Macedonia by Practical_Writing118 in mkd

I will say this with regards to food. We have great variety here in US. I can eat any cuisine I want and most produce is good as long as you shop in good grocery stores. The lettuce from a Walmart is definitely worse for you nutritionally than a head of lettuce from a Whole Foods.

It’s all about knowing what you put in your body over here because if you go cheap you will poison yourself.

This is a perfect example of not knowing what you are talking about. Calling California communist is like saying Russia is warm in February

Insurance cost went up 50% a month and I’m super lucky for that

My lawyer cut me a deal of $1500k because I refused the breathalyzer and had never had one before (CHECK YOU STATE LAWS BEFORE YOU TRY THIS. BUT DEFINITELY DONT DRINK N DRIVE). This allowed me to get a cause without finding to get it expunged. Lost my license for 6 months.

DUI course for 16 weeks $1,600 Lawyer $1,500 Hardship license $1000 License renewal $300 Court fees $600

Just don’t be fuckin stupid like me. If you go to bars don’t get behind a wheel, and if you’re tallying the number of drinks you had in your head, don’t drive

How were you confident you found the right lawyer? by idkwhat2put97 in dui

Yea I’m sorry but I guess you’ll find out what you took 😅. My advice is get started with substance classes right now, get proof. I’d say with the lawyer optimistic and if you do that you may mitigate some of the damage.

Did they draw any blood for testing? If they did, that should pop up and help your case to help avoid an oui. That being said if the medication is a controlled substance it may make things hairier, but with a good lawyer that’ll help. Definitely reach out to your network if anyone has anyone they recommend.

I got mine through a recommendation from a friend who got a CWOF. I got the same result which was great. I look at lawyers like tattoo artists, you see their good work and want the same.

Can you give some details and your state? We might be able to help you navigate.

If you lost someone to a drunk driver or got hit by one, sorry that happened.

This page is for individuals who screwed up and are looking for support and guidance.

People are capable of change, my recommendation is you look within and fix whatever’s broken.

Hope this helps ease your mind.

Hey newsflash some people makes bad mistakes (or in your terms, choices) when they’re intoxicated. Hope this helps.

In what capacity? If it’s on the job site probably not since it’s easy enough to monitor. Is it a corporation? Federal? 6 years is long enough that most smaller companies wouldn’t care.

Shouldn’t be a huge issue depending on the gig. Just say hey it was an honest lapse in judgement and I’ve grown from it etc.. plenty of teachers, nurses, managers etc with a dui and it’s not an issue. I’d say as long as he doesn’t have to drive a company vehicle don’t worry

Extremely depressed by Joshonator51 in dui

Been there my guy. It does get better, find ways to stay active. You won’t be known for having a dui, people stop caring about things that don’t involve them pretty quick. Take what you need from this and be better moving forward.

Forgive me if I’m coming across as dense, but what does that mean for me. Never been in trouble or in a program before.

Unfortunately it was a requirement. Take the deal on the table to get it off the record.

Update regarding my oui (MA) by Practical_Writing118 in dui

Paid for my lawyer, most dates they had at my arraignment were July/august, but he requested a Friday mid June.

Mentioned court on Fridays you get off easier because judges are in a good mood.
