A: If you have been charged with a DUI, it is important to seek legal counsel immediately. A DUI conviction in California can have serious consequences, including fines, license suspension, and even jail time.

As a second DUI offense, the penalties can be even more severe. However, there may be options available to you, such as plea bargaining or alternative sentencing programs, that can help reduce the impact of the charges.

Regarding your scoliosis, you may be able to request accommodations for any testing or evaluations related to the DUI case. It is important to discuss this with your legal counsel and any medical professionals involved in your care.

Ultimately, the best course of action is to consult with an experienced DUI defense attorney who can review the details of your case and advise you on your legal options.
