DUI attorney on first DUI

Question: Do I need an attorney when faced with first offense?
Answer: You can represent yourself, but I strongly recommend against representing yourself on a DUI or any other misdemeanor or Felony. The Judge would likely recommend against it as well. It is just not a good idea to represent yourself as DUI defense and court procedure are both complex.
Sincerely,
Phil Hache
