A person charged with DUI can lose his license for a year, spend up to a year in jail, face over $1000 in fines plus additional costs, and spend thousands in future increased insurance costs.
At age 18 he is likely ineligible for no contest.
He needs a lawyer, and since certain administrative actions against him happen within ten days of arrest, getting one soon enough is critical.
