doubt that's going to do him any good. all a lawyer's going to do is tell you to plead guilty. have had friends who hired lawyers for 2k a shot, the lawyer suggested all sorts of interesting defenses (cough medicine, etc), and in the end the kid was just as screwed as if he'd walked up and said "guilty, your honor", and he could've saved himself a ton of cash. basically, you're F'd. blowing .11 or .12 would've been guilty under the older, more lenient standards of .10, and now most states are .08.

you were also in trouble for driving so soon after drinking... the fact that you blew higher later in the night meant your body was still absorbing alcohol. if you'd waited 2 hours or so after drinking before you left, your body would (hopefully) have been done absorbing alcohol, so your BAC would go *down* instead of up. I was only pulled over once for this, and blew a .08 by the side of the road. I was taken back to the station where I blew a .06 (approximately 45min to an hour later), and was let off with a speeding ticket. It's no joke, and I've been a hell of a lot more careful ever since.

so basically, suck it up, plead guilty (or see if there's a program you can sign on to), and LEARN YOUR LESSON. Just imagine if you'd gotten into an accident (your fault or not)...
