A good attorney in the field of DWI defense will cost money. But the long-range implications for your daughter will be greater. The traffic stop in my view, if correctly described, lacked probable cause regardless if she was on private property or a public parking lot. But you need to know the laws in your state. DUI arrests usually involve a criminal component and a civil component (the breath test question). When I testified on the stand in my DWI cases, the more probable cause I had made the case stronger. The jury wants to hear the facts as to why the officer made the stop. Make sure the defense attorney gets the transcript of the officer's conversation with the dispatch center. Without discussing the case with a competent attorney, you can't make an educated decision. Throwing yourself at the mercy of the county attorney is a gamble. One bad decision can lead to long-lasting consequences. Good luck.
