Do I really need to hire a attorney for a DUI?

Gregory Casale
Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
The chances of having your DUI charges dropped without an attorney are between slim and none. You should absolutely have an attorney. If you can not afford one, by the court's standard, they will appoint a lawyer for you for a minimal fee. It is typically anywhere from $150 - to $500. More likely, it is the lower end and they will give you some time to pay it. Do not go it alone.

Illegal sentence

DUI/DWI lawyer at Richard F. Sweeney, Attorney at Law
The maximum jail time for a DWI misdemeanor is 1 year. If he has been in jail on this case only and no other case, he should be freed. You might try contacting the local district attorney and ask them to do something about it; you might try to send a letter to the Court in which he was sentenced as well.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.
