You’re charged with a DUI and you’re convinced that you will end up being convicted of the DUI no matter what. So then, why should you bother spending considerable money on an attorney to assist you with a case that seemingly will end up with the same result – a DUI?
I’m asked this question quite often so here are some thoughts:
1. The Judge will probably demand you get an attorney;
2. An attorney (and staff) can assist you with the collateral consequences of a DUI charge such a the alcohol evaluation (remember the results in the evaluation can help/hurt your case and cost/save you thousands of dollars), DUI Victim’s Panel, Licensing issues (ie. Ignition Interlock License, Ignition Interlock Device, SR 22 insurance);
3. An attorney can represent you at the DOL hearing;
4. An attorney can protect you in court against the prosecuting attorney and potentially the Judge with an ax to grind;
5. Plus, if there is a legal issue or defense available a good, experienced DUI attorney will find it and may in fact turn an “impossible” case into a reduced charge.
Remember, a person who represents himself in court “has a fool for a client.” Stay protected!
