I am too!

Most people who get DUIs hire lawyers who get them all the paperwork they need and walk them through the after court process.

I didn't hire a lawyer. I was guilty, so I talked to the prosecutor myself and he recommended the lightest sentence in return for my plea. There is no guide book for all of this. I've had to figure out the paperwork on my own, and I've gotten all my info from the internet and through a lot of phone calls... basically being a pain in the ***.

The funny thing is that the majority of the people who hire lawyers pay between $5-10K and end up with the same sentence I got. I'd say my research and phone calls were worth the trouble.

After I go through this whole process there is a chance the MA DMV may suspend my license for another year because they treat the DUI like it happened in MA too (double jeopardy). There isn't a lot of info about it on the internet, but there's enough for it to be concerning. I have to try different google searches to see if I can find out more specific information.

There are lawyers who specialize in dealing with the DMV, and I will hire one if MA tries to suspend my license for another year. I can't imagine I'd have to pay a lawyer a fortune just to represent me at a DMV hearing.
