Wyomissing Law

I am looking at my second DUI, where I blew a 0.18. My previous DUI was in another state, CA, about 9 years ago. I understand that PA has statutory sentencing guidelines. Most likely, the DA will present the case and the judge will issue the minimum statutory sentence (or thereabouts), which will involve jail, probation and any treatment. Since I am beyond flat broke and in hoc to both the IRS and creditors, the reality of having to pay for all the probation and treatment, nonetheless without a license (or any family to help me), is daunting. Can I just ask for the max statutory sentence and skip all the probation and treatment options? I realize it's a substantially longer amount of time, but seriously, flipping burgers for $8/hr and stressing about isn't much better.
Before you make any other decision, I strongly encourage you to contact the Berks County Public Defender's office and...

My adult son is looking at DUI/DWI charges, tho nothing has been officially issued yet, he has been informed after the investigating is finished he will be charged in the incident. He was in a car crash where the car he hit fled the scene and still has not been found. In the mean time he was given a breathalzer and taken by ambulance to the hospital to be treated for his injuries. Here they gave him a blood test and it was found he had alcohol, amphetemines, marijuana and his prescriptions in his system. The police also took and are holding his prescribed meds that he carries with him (in prescribed bottles) as evidence. They found no other drugs in the car. What is the best and worst possible scenario we can expect? Should we use a public defender? He is on SSD and on a fixed income.
It's a serious problem, especially if he is on Social Security and there was an accident. SSA administration have 3-5...
I was pulled over for going down one way , cop suspected me of drinking and provided a Breathalyzer test . I asked for a field test but was told this was faster . He came back to let me know I had failed yet didn't tell me the percentage . He had to take a call and gave me the Breathalyzer tube and told me to walk home . He kept my license , registration and insurance card . I don't know if I got a DUI or should contact the police officer to see if he just forgot to give them back .
The fact pattern sounds odd. You should not post anymore information on line and expect a criminal complaint to be fed....
