What can I expect for my first time in court for a DUI?
Yes, keep your court date and ask the judge for an extension to give you the opportunity to seek council. Your other option is to plead not guilty and the judge will then set a court date for trial. In the meantime you can seek council. You will have the option of changing your plea later at the time of trial. The law/penalties are quite specific regarding DUI charges in California. There are mandatory penalties you will most likely incur with or without an attorney. http://www.kandblaw.com/penalty_chart.ht… http://www.kandblaw.com/faqs.html#court http://www.duiking.com/geninfo.html See this link for blood alcohol, (BAC,) of .08 or higher. http://www.southern-california-dui-defen…
