I am often asked by people if representing yourself is a good idea. I tell them that if we are taking about a simple traffic ticket or small claims court, the average person could do a good job. However, when it comes to a Drunk Driving case in New York City, the answer is a resounding NO!
The criminal justice system in New York City is the biggest of its kind in the world. They handle over 400,000 caes a year. There are five different District Attorney's offices all with their own staff and personalities. In addition to literally hundreds of judges and thousands of prosecutors. In order to deal with this kind of system you need an experienced Drunk Driving defense lawyer on your side. There is too much at stake to go at it alone. Jail time, loss of license, and heavy fines are all possibilities.
