No Attorney Needed For Article 894.
True, but a good lawyer can do more for you than just 894. And their "1st offender" deal tends to be a lot better. They can also do it more quickly with a lot less headache.

I would not hire a attorney for 1st offense just plead guilty and get it over with.
I’ve never had a DUI or driven a vehicle under the influence of anything mind altering. I’m not an attorney. I’ll be damned if I’d go to court for DUI charges and not be represented by some sort of attorney, first offense or not. I’m not sure if the person in question is eligible for a public defender or not, but if you have to appear in court before a judge with a prosecutor from the DA’s office pursuing charges I would think you’re taking unnecessary risks and should not appear in court without proper representation. I also believe that a person who does not seek legal counsel and chooses to represent himself is generally not received well by a judge. I believe it may appear to the court that you’re taking the charge too lightly or maybe they are bothered by the practice for other reasons, but I’ve seen this dynamic take place in the courtroom.
Again, I’m not in any position to give legal advice, but common sense tells me I shouldn’t take a chance like that. Once it’s done, it’s done and trying to save money now might cost you a hella lot more down the road or even bring about a situation that you can’t change later on. I just don’t think it’s worth taking a chance.
It should be three strikes your out , life in prison and 1st time offence brought back if second dui .He’ll be ok if he plays along to get along. If he gets another one it could be big trouble. Had a friend in high school (I say had because definitely don’t hang out with him anymore) who after number 6 he did some serious jail time.
