Can I represent
myself?
Yes. You can
elect to represent yourself in court, but it is not recommended.
A DUI conviction can have very serious negative consequences
and should not be taken lightly. Defending a
driving under the influence charge is complex
and difficult.
Presenting an effective defense requires knowledge of the
science and technical aspects pertaining to DUI's as well as
local court procedures. Without an experienced DUI
attorney you risk being at a disadvantage throughout the
process.
You should talk to a lawyer before you decide to represent
yourself.
