First DUI, scared

Hello Everyone,

I am Zach, 24, and I got my first DUI on Sunday. I live in Ohio and my main thing I am concerned with is possible jail time...

I was not speeding or doing anything reckless while driving, i just forgot to put my headlights on... something I do all the time.
I passed all the field tests, they gave me four but they still cuffed me. Im just thankful that NO ONE was hurt or NO damage was done.

This is my first offense and my record prior to this was clean. My Dad is a lawyer and constantly reassures me that no jail time will be happening. He also has connections to great DUI defense lawyers who will be working with me. I meet with them tomorrow.

I personally hardly drink but I still take full credit for what I did, I made a mistake and again I am just happy no one got hurt

I was foolish and made a mistake, I just want to avoid jail time... is Jail time pretty rare for a first DUI?

Any answers are great.
