got a dui...any advice or anything?

stringing out the court date until after you are 21 wont do you any good. You still committed the offense before you turned 21.

On top of the suspension, the 7k+ in fines and legal fees you will also have the increased insurance when you do get your license back. A guy that worked for me had to sell his car and pick up a beater because his insurance more than doubled after his DUI. He was also 20 and less than 2 months from his 21st.

Trust me it will work.

I think what he's referring to is that there are less harsh penalties if you happen to be over 21 when you go before the judge. Still won't change the underage drinking thing, but it sounds like you know what you did wrong. So like someone above me said, take a DUI class and do some community service before going to court. It will help.

taking the class before you go to court and community service will lessen the punishment. BUT you will still be charged will full punishment.

For instance lets say you are punished with 100 hrs community service and a DUI course. Lets also say you have already completed 50 hrs community service and a DUI course...they would still make you serve 50 hours at the least. NOW unless understand that at the same time the judge could say it doesnt matter starting today you still have to serve 100 hrs of community service and only sign off saying that you took the DUI class.

Under the age of 21 your license is gone 6 months minimum if not a year no questions asked the court room doesnt care, DMV doesnt care. You wont get a license for school/work - nothing. Flat out 6 months minimum no license.

IF you have a damn good lawyer he may be able to get that dropped to Wreckless Driving.. but you will still probably have to serve and pay full DUI punishment, but trust you really really want Wreckless on your record rather than a DUI even if you have to serve/pay more do more, whatever.
