If you are a first time DUI offender, you should be eligible for ARD, which is a first time offender's program. It offers no jail, no conviction, no record and instead of getting a license suspension of 1 year or 1.5 years, depending on your blood alcohol level, you get a 30 day or 60 day suspension. Now, if you are charged for some other crime, like Recklessly Endangering Another Person, or some other similar crime for allegedly being drunk while a minor is in your car, you may be ineligible for ARD. However, the DA may drop that charge and allow you into ARD if your attorney can work out a plea agreement to that effect.

You could get charged with DWLS, and it could extend the time you have to wait to ask for a hearing with the Secretary of State to get your license back.
