Don’t give me because it costs too much and they cant afford it. I think it’s the price of having a car. You wouldn’t get a car and say "well tires are expensive, I can’t afford them" you just need them. The point of insurance is to be able to afford to fix any damages you may cause to another driver’s car or person. If I wrecked someone’s car I would certainly want the other person to be able to get their car fixed or replaced. And if there was injury I wouldn’t want someone else saddled with huge medical bills because of a mistake I made. Is that just me?

Saturday night I wrecked my car. I was with a friend, he ran away. A cop stopped me and breathelized me I blew a .185. I spent 13 hours in jail. It was so scary. I have a 4.0 at A&M, I’m a good student, nothing like this has ever happened to me. I feel like this is the end of the world, I’m hopeless and I don’t know what to do. I know I need to find a good lawyer, I don’t even know how to go about this situation. I made a huge mistake please don’t remind me of that. Any advice, support, similar situations. Anything would be helpful. I’m so lost.

This is my story on what happened Saturday on through Sunday from which I received my first ever DWI. Saturday afternoon my roommate and I had plans to meet some friends at Jesters Pub and listen to a few of the live bands that were scheduled to play there. We all were having a good time, Jesters is a type of bar where we can let out a little aggression it has what they call a mosh pit where everyone runs jumps and pushes each other, a very fun atmosphere for a certain type of person great exercise as well. Well after a few rounds of “moshing” a few rounds of drinks I found myself back in the “mosh pit”. Next thing I remember is numerous amounts of people tackling me and the last thing I remember is losing consciousness when I came to I was outside with the bouncers telling me that I need to take my roommate to the hospital because he had hurt his arm. So being the nieve drunk that I apparently am, and still in a state of confusion/adrenalin I scooped him up and headed to the car. Once in the car my senses hit me I told him that I probably shouldn’t drive so we called a friend to meet us. Unfortunately we had to meet our designated driver 3-5 blocks down the road at a local gas station…This is where I made my mistake I agreed to take him to the gas station. Almost immediately after we pulled out of the bar’s parking lot I saw blue lights and proceeded to pull over. I told the officer my situation and was arrested for DWI. I now understand that I made the wrong decision and things could have been much much worse. I’m thankful that no one else was injured or killed. I’m currently thinking about my situation I live off post I take care of my 20 month daughter and my wife is in the army as well. I really don’t know what to do or how much trouble I’m really in. Looking for lawyers paying the courts doesn’t fit within my budget along with a mortgage, car payment, wife, and child.

Well here’s the deal, not that long ago I got DWI and got arrested. Now I’m dealing with the whole deal, from attorneys to courts etc. I’m not a huge drinker what so ever, and it just happens to be that the day I decide to make a mistake in my life was the day that I got caught. The problem is, this is my first and only arrest, and I don’t know anything and I’m scared. Day in and day out I continuously worry, I’m scared that I won’t be able to pull through, and now my finances are about to get tough. Not only that but I feel as if my life will never be the same. I heard about a lawyer, and not having any clue about of this I contacted the first one on my list. Even after all the charges, I have no idea if he’ll be able to do anything for me, or if I’m going to be throwing away my money out the window. Does anyone know exactly what goes on in these kinds of charges? I feel like I’ve lost everything I have, like if my college education isn’t going to take me anywhere anymore and like I just threw my whole life away. I can’t find the effort to do school work anymore, I don’t feel myself on the job, and I feel like a big part of me is gone. I just live in fear now. My question is, does anyone know what I should expect? Is my life really going to be at it’s lowest point forever now? I just need some clarification and in a way, some advice. i would appreciate honest answers, because this is something that I not only regret, but something that I feel will haunt me for the rest of my life.

This past weekend I was arrested for driving while intoxicated. I need as much information as possible on what to do? What happens if I do not hire a lawyer? You see I don’t have that kind of money to hire a lawyer. I live here in Texas and a down payment is 0.00 to 00.00. I know it may be a little to some people but thats a whole lot to me. Then I heard that most lawyers want all the money before the case. I know that also I will get a surcharge which is about a 00.00 every year for the next 3 years. That is about the same amount of money for a lawyer. So, basically what I am worried about if there is even a point for me to get a lawyer because then I just might be paying twice as much? I don’t know I’m just so confused what to do, I don’t know what to do, I have no type of knowledge what so ever on this. I am so lost, so if anyone can please help me! I would appreciate it a whole lot. O by the way I am twenty years old….so yeah…I know I got it in for me and I deserve it
I know I deserve this and I do repent and I know not to do this ever again. I made a huge mistake and I’m just lucky that I didnt’ get into a crash and end up killing myself or someone else. I still feel that I deserve a second chance because I know I will NOT do this again.
ya guys thanks for reminding me that it was stupid…Guess what I KNOW THAT NOW! K! I dont need you to judge me just asking for some advice and suggestions ok! THANKS

So, this whole weekend was a huge mistake. I don’t drink. I’m under 21 and I have drank maybe once in the past year or so. I’m a university student and graduated at the top of my class… I’m just not drinker or a bad person at all. I just really need some answers right now…

So, when the cop pulled me over I was on my phone. I got pulled over for not being able to stay in the lane. I was already crying and nervous so I told him I was scared (I really was) for my sister who I had gone to pick up from somewhere I was lost and couldn’t find her (i was in a different city). I was crying the entire time and telling him I had to get my sister.. he was just ignoring everything I said as usual. He asked for my ID. I have a car where the trunk pops up after pressing my unlock button for like 5 seconds, I was crying and all so I couldn’t open it.. I had to do it manually.. I did it and then he began asking me to do the tests so I began and I did 2, the eye one and the step in front of each foot and count.. I did that also.

I honestly can’t say if I failed or not, but after that, he told me the last test was to blow. I refused that since my friend I had been on the phone with has a mother who is a cop and before I got off the phone, she told me that whatever I did, to not blow. After that, the cop started being rude, of course.He sat me in the front and put the camera in my face and the light. I kept pushing it away and he got mad but why would u even sit me in the front seat!?

Then at the police department, he asked me to sign a paper. I asked him to let me see it cause I wasn’t just going to sign things I didn’t know. He kept telling me no.. thats when i got mad and said "i’m not fucking signing anything I’m not going to fucking read!" and he got mad and denied me the phone call and put me in the cell.

I got a DWI with open container. I had told him my sister’s friends and my sister had been in my car and the bottle was behind the drivers seat but I know I am underage to begin with. I just want to know what now.. I know the cop was probably very angry and I am going to get a lawyer but I mean, is there a chance it will be lowered down to a pi since I didn’t blow?

My boyfriend got a dwi in January and has paid the price and completed all the requirements. He was granted a conditional liscence and the judge stated on 3 documents that he will get his full liscence back in 90 days, but his lawyer told him since he is under 21 he will not get it back untill after a year. The lawyer said the judge made a mistake but the dmv will not pass it. If the judge granted 90 days can the DMV still revoke it for a year? He lives in the state of NY.

When I was pushin my daughter out of my vagina. I didnt feel anything because the drugs they gave me made me really numb. She was crowning for about 5 hrs so they finally decided to use forceps. When she was born she had facial nerve damage from the doctor misusing the forcepts. I ended up pushing her out myself anyway because they said the forceps didnt help. When we took her to the pediatrician she pointed out that our daughter had facial nerve damage and we got a whole bunch of tests done to confirm that thats what it was. Well anyway I had pregnancy medicaid and my daughter has medicaid. Its been about 6 months now and they billed us! Isnt medicaid supposed to pay for this? And if not I shouldnt have to pay for the doctors mistake. How come when your water breaks and they make you sign all of those papers, they never say that damage can be done to your child by using forceps and they make you sign those papers for them to use those tools???

One paper says June 2, June 4, and June 12. Why so many court dates? Also, my lawyer is coming. Will have I have to stand and talk? This was my first DWI and first offense- how long will my license be suspended. I’m sorry while driving while intoxicated, by the way. That my mistake and I learned from it.
