Do I need a lawyer or can I represent myself?
You can represent yourself -- although it a terrible idea. It is sort of like a doctor doing an appendectomy on himself.
"Drunk driving" is a very complex field with increasingly harsh consequences. There is a minefield of complicated procedural, evidentiary, constitutional, sentencing and administrative license issues.
A qualified DUI attorney, however, can review the case for defects, have the court suppress evidence, compel discovery of such things as calibration and maintenance records for the breath machine, have blood samples independently analyzed, negotiate for a lesser charge or reduced sentence, obtain expert witnesses for trial, contest the administrative license suspension, etc. No layperson can be expert on all these issues and others. You might wind up pleading guilty on a case that might have been dismissed.
