In Utah, Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a serious offense. Anyone who has been charged with a DUI should seek legal assistance immediately from a licensed DUI attorney. The sooner the better. Is it really a must for a person to hire a DUI lawyer to represent him or her in the court? Can you handle the case alone? In our point of the view, the answer is no. Read on to discover why.
