More details to this question:
My son was arrested for a dui last night. It was his first offense no endangerment. He spent the night in jail, we paid the bond this morning. The officer had not filed charges so he has to go back tomorrow morning. He doesn't make a lot of money and is in school. We don't know what to do

Yes, he needs an attorney. Most judges will be reluctant to move forward without representation. A conviction can carry jail time and license suspension. If not handled properly it can impact him for a long time. Get an attorney. If he can’t afford one he can ask for a public defender but in some counties if he posted a bond he may not be eligible for a public defender.
