Maybe. You have to ask. A traffic lawyer could also practice DUI or DWI law. No matter what, make sure your DUI attorney is well-experienced with DUI laws and not just traffic laws. A drunk driving conviction is much more serious than a traffic conviction. Most traffic tickets won’t get you put into jail, but a DUI could. Other penalties include big fines, extra car insurance requirements, specail forms for the DMV, and suspended drivers licenses.

A DUI lawyer can help get you less jail time, maybe even get the judge to agree to a long community service commitment instead. If you are innocent of the charges, the attorney should also be able to argue your case before the judge and prove it with evidence and laws you might not even be aware of. Therefore, it’s important to look at hiring a DUI lawyer as soon as you can, well before you're due in court. Depending on the county, your attorney might be able to appear in court for you, too.
