Q: If this is my first offense what should I expect in court ?
Will I get probation ?
A: In order to remotely answer your question we would need way more information. Are you getting help from an attorney? What are the facts of your case? Impossible and would only be able to speculate without at least some information about your situation.
A:
In terms of the criminal charge, the first thing that Georgia looks at is a 10 year period. For a first DUI in a 10 year period, there is a minimum of 24 hours of confinement, 12 months of probation, a fine that ranges from $300 to $1000, license suspension, 40 hours of community service, completion of DUI school, a substance abuse evaluation, and treatment if that evaluation requires it.
I hope this helps
