If you disagree with the decision regarding your DUI or DWI charge you have the right to appeal on either a state or a federal level. Most states give a short window of time (usually in the 20 to 30 day range) for when the appeal can be filed. You'll then probably have to wait several months for your case to be heard.

This is not the time to represent yourself. Especially since your appeal will be heard by a higher court, requiring written briefs and arguing your case against skilled and experienced prosecutors. To give yourself a chance at wining your appeal, you'll want to hire a DUI lawyer. Their understanding of DUI laws and many years of challenging drunk driving evidence will add strength and legitimacy to your appeal.

And plus, DWI attorneys are familiar with the presiding courts. They know how to frame oral arguments towards certain judges and for various types of juries. Their expertise can overturn the original decision against you, sparing you the long-term consequences of a drunk driving conviction.
