    It depends on the state. Most have preset fines and probationary periods.

    Check out this website for your state.

    My brother got a DUI last year and his probation time is almost up. However, it depends on the severity of the offense and the state you live in. Hopefully there will be a lesson learned...

    Have you ever been in trouble before? That really is the main factor with teh judge deciding how long your probation will be if you even get probation, i'de say it might be a year or maybe more maybe less, you never know. It just depends on your background record. Good Luck.

    If 1st offense you might not get probation. You would get a fine, community service, and possibly have to take driving class and maybe undergo some sort of treatment. But if you do then 6 months would be the max.

    It all depends state to state! As far as I'm concerned anyone who gets an alcohol related violation should not be on the road again until they can prove they have dealt effectively with their drinking problem! I'd like to think our highways are safe when we drive on them! It's bad enough with some of the losers that have a license to drive without drunks and drug addicts weaving at you constantly!

    Depends on the state. GET A LAWYER! There is no substitute for GOOD legal representation. They haven't nicknamed the public defender, "Johnny Moretime", for nothing!
