I am a 21 year old student, convicted of a DUI in September 2012. This is my first offense; other than the DUI I have a clean record. I am currently attending driving classes and checking in regularly with my probation officer.
I recently violated my probation by consuming alcohol, which showed up in an ETG urinalysis. I am now required to re-appear in court.
I suffer from depression, and I haven't been taking my medicine regularly or seeing my therapist for some time now. I was at a really low point and all alone when I drank. It was a foolish decision, and I regret it.
Should I hire a lawyer? How likely do you think it is that I will have to serve jail time/house arrest?
