First DUI in Missouri. Should I hire a lawyer or just take the plea?
I got my first DUI last week in St. Louis County. I am 26 and have a clean record. I blew .09. I know I made a mistake, but I am scared about what happens next. Some people say a lawyer is a waste of money for a first offense. Others say the system will eat me alive without one.
I called Frank & Juengel for a free consult and they explained the process clearly. They seem solid, but I am still not sure if I should spend the money.
Has anyone here handled a first DUI on their own in Missouri? How did it go? Did you end up wishing you had hired a lawyer?
