Charged with drink driving after argument with partner

[Wedge]

Hi there .. need some advice regards to being charged with drink driving on sat morn at 0535..
I foolishly had a argument with my partner when on a night out .. and instead of going back tour accommodation I drove my car .. stopped at a truck stop to use toilet and a truck driver took my keys out my ignition and called the police . I was arrested and breathalased my reading being 97 ..
I was detained in police station til late afternoon..and giving a court date in 2 weeks ..
never ever done anything like this in my life before .. really anxious about it all .. not sure how I get a solicitor or what I do next ? As police station was 2 hours from my home town ? Do I need to get a local solicitor where court is ?

If you wish to instruct a solicitor to represent you for a drink driving matter you will usually have to pay privately. If you pay privately then you can instruct any solicitor you wish. You should contact a specialist solicitor to discuss your options. Drink driving is a complex area of law and it is always advisable to obtain a view from an expert before deciding on who to instruct. A guilty plea to drink driving with an evidential reading of 97µg will put you in a sentencing bracket where the court will consider imposing a ban of between 23 and 28 months together with a community order as an added part of the penalty.
