    Yes, you should hire an attorney for most legal matters, especially when jail time is a possibility. Depending on the strength of the state's case, an attorney may not be able to get an acquittal, but with any luck they'll get you probation and/or a fine rather than jail time. I'm not familiar with the law in California, but suspension of your driver's license is typically automatic upon conviction and can't be prevented. Some attorneys specialize in DUI cases and know the relevant laws inside and out. You're best off with one of them.

    Yes. You should get an attorney. It is very costly. But do you know what the cost is when you are convicted of DUI? With the insurance surcharges and everything? Do the research, it is worth it to get an attorney.

    Absolutely you should seek the advise of an attorney. You do not know the law, you may be put on diversion, etc etc.,

    When you have a charge like this, it is not like jay walking.
