Am I able to view the video of my DUI before consulting a lawyer?

Gregory Casale
Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
The booking video is available to you through discovery, which the ADA must provide to the defendant. If you cannot afford a private attorney, the court will provide one for you for a nominal fee. It is extremely difficult to represent yourself for any court proceeding, especially a trial. The court will not afford you any slack or understanding for not knowing the Rules of Evidence & Procedure. You wouldn't even know how to present the booking video into evidence if you had it, most likely. If you didn't know the correct procedure, the ADA could object and keep it out of evidence.

Do I really need to hire a attorney for a DUI?

The chances of having your DUI charges dropped without an attorney are between slim and none. You should absolutely have an attorney. If you can not afford one, by the court's standard, they will appoint a lawyer for you for a minimal fee. It is typically anywhere from $150 - to $500. More likely, it is the lower end and they will give you some time to pay it. Do not go it alone.
