What is the name of your state? California (.08 legal limit)
When I went to the station, the cop did 2 tests. One read .08 and the other read .09. A friend of mine who got a DUI a few years ago and was sent to the same courthouse as the one i'll be going to said that his case was dismissed and that mine will most likely be dismissed also. He said it probably was because it was his first DUI. This was also my first and unlike my friend, Ive never been arrested (except for once as a juvenile 7 yrs ago which is supposed to be cleared from my record).
Will I still need a lawyer? I figured if the case wasnt dismissed, I could plead not guilty and get a lawyer. Would that be adviseable?
Also, do lawyers allow their fees to be paid in payments over time or do they ask for it all at once?
