The test at the scene is different than any taken later. It is possible that the second test could be higher than the first. This, however, is probably better news because it shows that you may not have been intoxicated at the time you were driving. Find an attorney as soon as possible.

The degree to which any attorney can help you depends on several factors. As an initial matter, the prosecutors first have to be able to prove you were guilty of the offenses. If not, a good lawyer might be able to get one or more of the charges dismissed. If they can prove all three, then it becomes a matter of negotating with the State, and discussing the risks associated with any potential proposed resolution, with you. Ultimately, you're the one driving the boat. Our job is to give you the best advice we can, and to point out the icebergs, so to speak. Feel free to call me with additional questions. Best, Rick

In a car it's a felony. On foot it's a misdemeanor. Big difference! And depends on what the substance is for the range of punishment. Varies from misdemeanor to felony.
