There are a ton of good ones, and (though I am far from an expert) I'm told Ian Savage is the best. There's a long list and none of them are cheap; but
you do need to go in with realistic expectations; fighting a DUI is an uphill battle for a lot of reasons.

Weigh your options, make sure it makes sense to fight it... sometimes it may be better to just take your lumps.

Willie DeWitt, ex-boxer, he has hands like sledgehammers.
Good criminal lawyer, worked with him a couple of times and found his approach and attitude refreshing.

I take it you didn't fair well in your case?
I was once told that in criminal matters, it is always best to get representation.

Not saying its right, just stating facts....

You don't have to be a lawyer to do that.

No, it is not as easy to fight as some may think. I had consulted a lawyer when I when through something similar. They will offer the best advice on whether you stand a chance or not. If you choose to pursure a defence, be prepared to empty your pockets... even then nothing is guaranteed.

If you know your guilty... take your lumps, carry on with your life and never do it again!
