I was as drunk as a fiddler. Can I get a suspended sentence if I hire a lawyer?

This kind of case is relatively less controversial. Whether to apply probation mainly depends on the facts and circumstances, and has little to do with whether to hire a lawyer. For example, if the blood alcohol content reaches more than 200 mg/100 ml, it is impossible for lawyers to apply probation.
