Very tough question. First, did you have permission to travel? Probably not so that is a violation. You are also required to report contact with the police to your p.o. so if you don't, that is a violation. You are not supposed to be drinking, so that is a violation.... If you were arrested, then they can find it because you fingerprints and your new criminal history are in a database that all probation officers can access and they generally do just before they turn the file over to the judge for him to sign the order ending probation. you are in deep trouble.

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

At .17 you would be considered "super drunk" and many prosecutor's offices have a policy against lowering the charge, especially to a non-alcohol related offense like reckless driving. That doesn't mean that it can't be done, but it's an uphill battle. There may be issues with the stop or how your blood alcohol content was determined. Only an experienced DUI attorney with a trained eye would be able to tell you for certain. A good DUI attorney is a great investment. This is serious and can have long-lasting effects so I would consult with a DUI attorney in your area as soon as possible.
