Should I get an attorney for a DUI UNDER .08?
November 25th, 2009
So I was pulled over 2 weeks ago for a DUI. My court date is coming up soon, and I have received my blood results– which show I was UNDER the .08 limit. I was pulled over originally because i was slightly “swerving”. I was driving my friend’s car– there is something wrong with it and the wheel is VERY sensitive. Anytime you touch it or switch lanes the car swerves slightly (I’m not sure exactly what is wrong with it). I can prove this in court by getting a simple diagnostic on the car. Do you think I still need to hire an attorney or will this be enough to dismiss my case? I’m just not sure if spending the money on an attorney will be worth it. Thanks in advance guys.
DUI can be complicated. I think it would be in your interest to consult with an attorney to better understand the potential issues. It probably isn’t a good idea to just post legal questions on Yahoo (trust me, I had a bad experience), when many of the members don’t know what they are talking about. With such an important issue like DUI, you def. need to at least contact a lawyer, even though I know they can be expensive. When I had a legal problem, I used www.quicklegalanswer.com for my legal stuff and was surprised how fast an attorney answered my question. It was very cheap and helped me put my mind at ease. Anywho, just thought it would be a good idea. If you need anything else, let me know.

Yes. He can get the DA to drop the charges better than you can.
