Get a lawyer. I've known a couple of people who were able to get the charges dropped. A lawyer will (or should) work to get you the minimum sentence if you are found guilty. Yes. Get a lawyer.

A DUI lawyer will probably cost you $2000-4000 with zero guarantee. If you're guilty, take your lumps and pay the fines and start looking for a new insurance carrier. Your's will most likely cancel you when the policy expires. In CA, there is almost no chance of going to jail for a 1st DUI (no property damage, no accident, compliant with the officer). I plead guilty (no attorney) and took a chance. Result was fines and DUI classes, restricted driving until the class was completed. The fines totaled about $2000, probation was 5 years.

Here in GA, I paid about $2400 in total. But, my DUI was reduced to reckless driving and running a red light, in which I had to pay a $250 fine and 40 hours of community service. The $2000 was the lawyer fee. Yes, you will need an attorney. Here in GA, I paid about $2400 in total.

Sometimes the stops are attackable, sometimes the tests or their collection are, and sometimes the question of whether you were really impaired beyond a reasonable doubt can be attacked. If you get a lawyer who is knowledgeable about DUI law, and not wills and trusts, you can do wonders; do not give up, because that is what the system counts on happening.
