Listen, it is always best to have some clout in there with you when you have been caught being a bit shy of perfect conduct, especially when it is directed at the police. But if this is really a DUI charge then yes, absolutely you need to speak with an attorney from the get go. DUI's are not taken lightly anymore. In fact, states have become more and more strict as to fines and the penalties associated with them. Penalties are imposed from the get go on arrest and it is really more back peddling trying to deal with the issue sometimes. You can at least have a consultation to see what the status of the matter is and to put your mind at rest. Good luck.
