MissDemeanor is on a distinguished road
1st Offense DUI (la County) BAC .10- misdemeanor, good record- what do i have to look forward to?

I got my 1st & last DUI the other night. I just had dropped my friend off after leaving the bar, and had gotten something to eat, and was heading home. I came to a red light so I stopped behind the car in front of me. Next thing i knew the police were behind me telling me to pull over, so I did. He said I was tailgating.. .Then he proceeded to ask me if I had anything to drink. I didnt feel the need to lie, I felt fine, alert, satisfied, I just ate. I said yes. (i had had 2 drinks in the span of 3 hours, i am 5'3" 115lbs). SO then they had me do a field test. I passed no problem. I answered all there questions, no attitude.. just complied. THen they had me do the breathalizer.I never saw it, but they said it was.10.. SO, that was it.. scared out of my mind, in disbelief, i was cuffed and then shortly booked. My question is.. what do i face? is it possible to get a restricted license since i work nights? Community service? I have 0 points now. Do i need a lawyer? Help. Thank U.
