I was arrested on a DUI charge yesterday. This is my first offense and up until now, have a spotless driving record. Is it mandatory that my license are suspended and that I serve 24 hours in jail? Will a DUI lawyer help me at all, or will it be a waste of money?

The consequences of a DUI are enormous. Not only could you lose your license (something you MAY save if you act very quickly as there are short time deadlines for the administrative suspension), and serve jail time, but you have fines, increased insurance rates and a criminal conviction that stays with you for life.
While a lawyer may or may not win your case, depending on facts, he can assess it and try to minimize the damage to you.
Make sure you hire a lawyer within the first 48 hours so you can address the steps that need to be addressed early.
