Talk to your attorney. DMV has their own rules in addition to the Court. As a first offended, no aggravating circumstances you should be eligible for a Work Permit.

Can I be charged with a DUI if the keys were outside of the car and the arresting officer smelled?

Answered by attorney Thomas Corcoran Phipps (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Offices of Thomas Corcoran Phipps
If the officer can convince the prosecutor that three is reasonable cause to believe that you were driving while intoxicated, you can be charged. It sounds like a weak case.

Trial fee

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
You should review the written retainer contract with your lawyer, it probably was a flat fee which included plea or trial.  I assume that at some point you entered a plea rather than going to trial. The decision to plead rather than go to trial is based upon the advice of your lawyer, which is what you paid for.  A lawyer will file a notice of appearance, request and review discovery from the state, obtain and review the dui video, and enter into negotiations with the state attorney and attend several court hearings before advising you of whether to go to trial or not. It is quite possible that the lawyer decided that you would have a losing case and if you went to trial you may have faced a jail sentence instead of probation as part of a plea. In many cases you are paying for the reputation and experience of the lawyer and some lawyers collect a flat fee which includes a trial.
