Sometimes a New York DWI attorney is completely optional, and a perserving person could do just as well in their case without one. If you’re looking to save some money on your already extremely expensive DUI costs, and your offense is not quite as serious as others, then you might be able to make do without hiring an attorney and come out all right. Consult with one first, though, and realize that if you go it alone, it will require a lot of hard work.

It’s possible you need a New York DWI attorney if…

• you need someone to explain to you what your rights are in terms of DUI law
• you need someone to explain to you what laws you have broken and what DUI law says about this
• you need someone to determine the severity of your case and tell what kinds of punishments you are going to receive
• your work requires that you have bonding
• being convicted criminally will mean that you will be kicked out of school, denied a professional license, and so on.
