I was recently arrested for 4th degree DWI. This is a first offense for me. I was pulled over for not having front plates on my car and was given a sobriety test which I failed. I blew a .11 and the legal limit is .08 in my state. I signed all of the papers that were given to me at the police station so this seems like a pretty open and shut case. would it benefit me to get a lawyer? I would **** to spend all that money just to find out that there is nothing that he can do for me.

Depending on what you signed at the police station it may be a closed case already. Did you sign a confession? I would say only talk to a lawyer to see if he can get some kind of deal that is lower than what you were charged with. Other than that I think you are pretty much done.
I would definitely get a lawyer! A conviction for a DWI means many points on your license, not to mention each conviction gets you closer to making the next one an automatic felony (in my state, the 4th DWI is automatically a felony). Also, DWI convictions in my state stay on your driving record for 10 years (higher insurance, etc.!!) He could get the charge reduced and points, by getting you classes, etc. Yes, it’s extra money, but if you can deal with it, it’s probably worth it.
i got a dui to and i have court on thursday there giving me a public defender . but you schould get one.
In PA you could be looking at 48hours to 6 months in jail. You could lbe looking at a fine ranging from $ 500 to $ 5000,.
Yea, I’d get a lawyer.
