Really, don't waste your money on DUI specialists. DUI lawyers specialize in pleading cases to wet reckless and collecting $2500 for their hour of trouble. (This both from multiple friends that are lawyers, and at least one friend that got a DUI.) Lawyers who specialize in DUI don't like to take cases to trial or even go through your particulars -- they make a lot more money by pleading you out. And as has been said, "wet reckless" is the *exact* same thing as a DUI in the eyes of law enforcement, it just lets you save a little face on job applications.

Consulting a defense attorney is probably a very good idea for precisely the reasons TWA884 cites, but avoid the DUI specialists.
