Do I need a lawyer for my DUI case in Virginia?

Being convicted of a DUI or DWI can have a major impact on your life, even if it is your first offense. If you are facing drunk driving charges, you may be wondering if an attorney can help you or if you’re better off defending yourself. Or, you may want to know what you should look for in a DUI / DWI attorney.

You are permitted to represent yourself, but consider the stakes. Being convicted of drunk driving carries some very stiff penalties, even for a first offense. Not only that, but Virginia’s drunk driving statues are very complicated and DUI / DWI cases are politically charged – judges don’t want to be seen as going easy on drunk drivers. There are many factors going against defendants in DUI / DWI cases, factors that an experienced, dedicated attorney can help counter.

If you are thinking of hiring an attorney to represent you, choose carefully. The right attorney can make a big difference in your DUI / DWI case, but an inexperienced lawyer can be as bad as no representation at all. Here are some things to look for in a good lawyer for your drunk driving case:

When selecting a defense attorney for your DUI / DWI case, keep in mind what is at stake: your license to drive, your insurance rates, financial penalties, your reputation – and perhaps even your freedom.
