Not everyone needs a New York DUI lawyer, though, so you have to take a look at the circumstances of your case in order to see whether you need to bother or not. Of course, it’s always the best for you to actually talk to a lawyer to find out the severity of your case first, but even so I can give you a little spoiler of what’s to come. At the most serious level, which I will address here, you definitely will need to have the services of a New York DUI lawyer. No excuses.

You NEED a DUI lawyer if any of the following describes you.

• you received your DUI because of a car accident. The more serious the accident, the worse it is for you. Severe damage is bad enough, but when injuries and especially deaths come into play, you are treading very dangerous ground and could end up locked away for awhile without representation.
• you have a long list of previous DUI offenses that will make it extremely difficult to defend you against yet another one. If you’re on your third DUI, you fall into this category.
• driving is integral to your job, and if you are not allowed to drive legally, then you coule lose your employment.
