Is it useful to ask a lawyer to defend drunk driving?

Legal analysis: useful. For defense lawyers, their duty is to put forward materials and opinions on the innocence, light crime or reduction or exemption of criminal responsibility of criminal suspects and defendants according to facts and laws, and to safeguard the litigation rights and other legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects and defendants. Therefore, if a party entrusts a lawyer to defend, the lawyer can put forward defense opinions in favor of the party according to specific facts and corresponding legal provisions, and strive for a lighter punishment for the party. If the crime is minor, he can also fight for probation.
