If you do not have the money to hire a lawyer, there the court will appoint one for you. Make sure your public defender knows the facts and circumstances of your arrest. If you were getting into your car, and you never drove, you have a good defense. (Driving is an essential part of drunk driving). The police may, however, have observed you driving before you stopped to look around. Or did you already start driving in the parking lot? In that case, you might want to look at what the officer indicates as his probable cause for the stop. Good Luck

DUI is an area of law where a good lawyer can pay for him or her self. Most of the penalties are financial, so minimizing them is important. The hardest thing is to be patient; let the lawyer do their work, educate yourself about the law and your options. Understand that the stress of not knowing the outcome will be there for a while, while you and your attorney do all the work necessary to ensure the best possible outcome for you. Ask for referrals, it is very difficult to pick a lawyer from the phone book. Talk to more than one before you hire someone. If you do have a public defense attorney, trust them; they are knowledgeable and work very hard for you.
