Do I Need a DUI Attorney?

DUI (Driving under the influence) is a crime. The person is charged with DUI when he is found to have a blood alcohol concentration of at least .08.

When one is convicted of DUI, the first question as is “am I going to jail?” And an honest answer will be “yes, you could”. If it is your first time, and you have no history of reckless driving or high blood alcohol content (a BAC over .12) plus you don’t have a minor passenger, then the situation might not be as bad. You may choose not to have a lawyer. However, if the situation is worse, such as someone died or you are a repeat offender, then you will need a lawyer.
