Getting arrested was probably one of the worst experiences in your life.  Most people come away feeling embarrassed or humiliated.  It’s okay if you’re feeling that way, just know that the worst is probably behind you and things are going to get better.

DUI is a unique crime in the United States in that people from all walks of life find themselves charged with DUI.  You’d be surprised how many people you know including doctors, lawyers, company CEOs and even police officers have been charged with DUI sometime in their lives. If you’ve been charged with a DUI it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. DUI charges are usually the result of a error in judgment.  People typically don’t consciously drive under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.  Instead, people drive under the mistaken belief that they are “okay” to drive.  Unfortunately, there isn’t any practical way for most people to know what their blood alcohol concentration is before they start driving.  Advances in technology may solve that problem in the next few years but for the time being we have to rely on our own judgement and our family and friends to help us make good decisions about drinking and driving.
