Lauren M asked:


I had received a DUI
-Under 21
-BAC of .14

What type of fine am I looking at with the courts?
What types of punishments am I looking at?
Is it worth it to get a lawyer?
Will it really make a difference?

rhinofinn asked:


If one gets their first DUI, was pulled over for turning into the wrong lane, blew a .13, and has a clean record, is it worth paying the money for a lawyer? Considering one also is a college student in good academic standing, and works for a school district, is that enough to get the best deal one can get from a judge with no need for a lawyer?

*also, the first cop who pulled one over initially was going to let one go, and it wasn’t until the sgt showed up and decided to further investigate, that the DUI was then administered. Is this something a lawyer could work with to completely get one off the hook?

Grant J asked:


If I know I’m going to plead guilty, is there any reason to go with an attorney? Can they possibly more effectively reduce the penalties as opposed to a public defender or court appointed attorney?
