It is not wise to plead guilty to a DUI charge without first consulting with a lawyer. A DUI conviction can have serious consequences, including fines, jail time, and a criminal record, which can impact future employment and other aspects of your life. A lawyer can evaluate your case and advise you on whether it is in your best interest to plead guilty or to fight the charges. They can also negotiate with prosecutors for a potential plea deal that may result in lesser penalties.
