Charged with drink/driving.

[davies_c14]

I have been charged by post, with drink/driving after having a blood alcohol reading of 111(Does the time and date need to be on the sample?),and was wondering if it’s worth having a solicitor as I will plead guilty.
Im a single parent who works part time,so can’t really afford a solicitor,but if it’s worth having one I would.
Also,what type of sentence am I looking at,as it’s my first offence.

Thanks.

Drink Driving Rehabilitation Course
All courts usually offer first time offenders the opportunity to take the drink driving rehabilitation course. A court may allow an offender to take the course a second time where there is a good reason to do so. Offenders will not usually be offered a chance to take the course for a third time. Completing the course can reduce any disqualification period imposed by up to 25%.
