    Default Underage DUI in California

    I was pulled over for a DUI around 2am in Southern California last week. This was my first offense and I have had a clean record as well as driving record. I'm only 18 years old and I blew a 0.09 and 0.10 on the preliminary breath screening. I chose to draw blood at the nearby hospital. I was pulled over for my front right headlight being burnt out. I was wondering if its worth it to hire a private attorney since I'm under 21 and most likely screwed. I don't wanna pay money for a private attorney when the public defender will leave me with the same results. What are my chances of getting out of my 1 year suspension as well? Any other tips or suggestions?

    First, are you sure you are eligible for a court appointed attorney? Not everyone is.

    Second, get an attorney.
