Yes, I would recommend a lawyer for most criminal offenses, especially DUIs. DUI's are a specialized area of the criminal defense and you will typically want to find a firm that handles primarily DUIs.
If its considered a first DUI, there are consequences (e.g., DL suspension, probation, etc) that you'll want to avoid. Go to the DUI page on our site to review the issues of importance. https://www.lockettlaw.net/DUI-Defense/
