In CA depends on what degree of drunkenness you were ,did you get charged with 23152 A,B,C or D Usually when you go to court the fines and restitution are posted in the court room, fine, restitution,suspension of license,alcohol classes, AA meetings,and 48 hrs jail time, the ONLY thing that negotiable is the jail time, if by the evidence there will be a hardship on going to jail, usually you can do work furlough, though most people report to jail on Friday nigh and are out by noon on Sunday, also you will be given community service, the total out of pocket cost for everything will be approx $8000 (excluding attorneys fees) if you know you are guilty, then do not hire a lawyer, they are a slow plea of guilty, lawyers are known for whats called "Bleed and Plead"...Hope this sheds some light on your dilemma.

DUI charge normally consists of at least 2 or more charges. One is for the criminal record portion of the DUI, usually a misdemeanor provided there isn’t injury, property damage or accident (if there is most likely the DUI charge will be felony DUI and not misdemeanor DUI). And the second portion of the DUI charge is not really a charge but more a sanction that the DMV (department of motor vehicles) does to your drivers license.
When charged with a DUI the DMV will most likely suspend your drivers license. This act is completely seperate from the criminal portion of the DUI charge. It is very common for even those that beat their DUI charge in court to still suffer from a suspended license because the DMV acts independently from the courts in this regard. This is what confuses most people when charged with a DUI. You need to understand that the DMV and the courts operate on 2 different wavelengths completely seperate from each other.
If you are charged with a DUI it’s important to know what your rights are and what you can expect. It’s also very important that you follow the instructions that are described on the pink sheet of paper the police officer handed to you when he confiscated your drivers license and charged you with DUI. Normally you have about 10 days to contest the DUI charge with the DMV (see the pink sheet of paper for the exact amount of days) to try and stop your drivers license from being suspended.
DUI lawyers will meet with you for a free consultation to discuss your DUI charge. If after speaking with them you think you can benefit from their service it’s probably a good idea to use a DUI lawyer to represent you with your DUI charge.
Felony DUI in California

Felony DUI in California is normally reserved for those particular DUI or drunk driving offenses that cause injury to others. Felony DUI is the more serious charge of the other misdemeanor DUI charges. In California, felony DUI offenses are also used when the person charged with DUI has multiple prior DUI related offenses.
When charged with felony DUI in California it is very important that you find a qualified California DUI lawyer or attorney to represent you as you will very likely face a prison sentence if convicted of felony DUI, especially if you appear in court without a skilled California DUI lawyer.
The two offenses you were most likely charged with in California are: California Vehicle Code 23152 (a) and vehicle code 23152 (b) as well. The “a” count means that you were operating your vehicle while unable to properly operate your vehicle the way a sober person would. The “b” count means that you provided a blood, breath or urine sample of .08 or higher. The quality of your driving doesn’t matter for the “b” count it is merely a charge that you submitted a .08% BAC breath, blood, or urine sample.
As you can see felony dui in california is rather involved and you’d be best advised to retain a skilled California DUI Lawyer.

To be slapped up side the head and asked Why are you SO STUPID? After that they will shred your license and have your car crushed. After that they will send you to prison if your ever caught behind the wheel of a car drinking again FOR LIFE. I guess thats not as bad as say KILLING an Innocent family because you was STUPID and drove drunk.

Why were you driving drunk? Did you not care about others on the road? It's not only selfish for your own safety, but for others who just want to get to their destination safely. I hope they take your car away.
