will a lawyer help for second dui charge

[sportsmom12]

What is the name of your state? KY

I am not paying for this- but since it is my son and I still care about him, I still have an interest. He is not learning lessons from his partying. Will the below situation be helped by a lawyer

1. He is in jail right now(just got arrested) but might be released until a court date in KY
2. It is his second dui in two years. First one was the "kiddie law "one- I think he was like .021
3. This one was significantly higher and he is 21 now- Can't remember what they told me- but it was high(almost 3x over) .27?
4. He has two other prior misdemenor arrests for pot

He does go to college. I am wondering if he gets a lawyer if it will even do any good- since he appears to be such a loser.

You may want to see if it's a criminal violation or not though before he plans on shelling out the dough and find out if that's truly a 2nd OWI violation or not. Many times, an underage "Absolute Sobriety" or what-have-you isn't counted as a first.

But, a lawyer can never hurt.

My response:

Where's the trailer in this story?

You say he "goes" to college? I don't think so. Rather, he "floats" to college on that cloud of purple haze.

You may want to see if it is a criminal violation or not? Your post makes no sense what-so-ever.

If you have a tooth ache, where would you go? The dentist! If you have a problem with the law, where would you go? To an attorney. Consult one, your son is going to need it.
