Yes, the $1,500 fee the lawyer wanted was to fill out the forms to get 'rehabilitated' and yes, it was a DUI that got reduced to reckless driving.
I can almost understand her allowed in and then not being allowed to drive while in Canada, but to deny her entry completely is ridiculous for that charge. We will be going by air and she won't be driving at all anyway.
