For a first time offense, you can expect a probated sentence, which usually comes with a fine, court costs, and community service.  Some jurisdictions will also impose alcohol counseling programs.

Some jurisdictions do offer diversion programs.  This is a way for you to "earn" a dismissal or lesser sentence.  You may want to consult with an attorney in the area where your charge is pending to see if this type of program is available.

Because your offense was a DUI offense, you can also expect a licenses suspension.  If you need to work while you are on probation, you will need to seek and obtain an occupational license while your suspension is active to avoid any other violations.
