The fact is, you don't need a lawyer.

     What you do need is a DUI lawyer!

     Defending a DUI is very different from handling any other type of criminal matter. For one thing, the elements of the offense are often extremely technical in their details and require an attorney who is not just merely familiar with DUI's but actually specializes in handling them.

     That means you need an attorney who keeps up with changes in this constantly developing area of practice and understands what he is dealing with. It also means that the nice lawyer you may have had represent you in an auto accident probably won't be able to do you much good here.

     Also, keep in mind that fighting a DUI has two completely different aspects; the Court and the DMV. Each of them requires a different expertise that only an experienced DUI lawyer can provide.
