There are many potential defense options to this charge, including proving that you were drunk but you weren’t in public, that you weren’t actually intoxicated, that you were intoxicated but only because someone spiked your drink, or that you weren’t endangering yourself or others.
3. We can negotiate the best possible plea deal. In the event that there is a wealth of evidence against you, the best option may be to negotiate a lesser charge. This may include pursuing an informal diversion agreement in which you complete drug treatment and / or community service in exchange for the charges being dropped.
