"Help your kid" has different meanings to different people. Daddy bailing her out is not what I have in mind.
If my teen got a DUI I would "help" them by sending them to rehab and doing everything I could to make sure that they don't drive for the foreseeable future. I would expect them to suffer some consequences that hopefully will teach a lifelong lesson.
Oh please. I love it when DCUM posters get all hysterical for no reason. She asked for a layer recommendation. You have no idea what else they’re doing or not doing. A DUI at 19 does not equal a necessary trip to rehab. Not that you or anyone else could make an adult do that. Calm down.

Her BAC is also going to impact the options here.

Good luck.
They used to have a program called REDO not sure if it exists or changed names for 1st offenders to get the record expunged
DUI is a specifically excepted from expungable offenses in many jurisdictions, including Maryland.
This isn't true. If you get probation before judgement you're now eligible to have it expunged after 15 years.

Now, if it's like it was the last time I did a DUI case in Montgomery County a PBJ for an underage driver might be hard to get.

My dad always told me if I got myself in jail, he wouldn’t bail me out. The kid in the article above didn’t even get the option. The judge gave him no bail. In jail since the morning of the accident.

This is very serious. Show her this. The driver is still sitting in JAIL. Came home for fall break from college and killed his friend and is not getting out of jail. She needs a massive wake up call.

Ah, how does this still happen when there is Uber? Sorry, not very helpful but it’s so very frustrating.

Why should it be expunged?
It is a serious offense.
Consequences teach valuable lessons.
