Good luck with that. Prosecutor will wear your dumb arse as a hat.

No, most legal cases can’t be “solved” without a lawyer, at least not well. A small minority of cases could be handled pro se without issue, but the problem is that you won’t know the difference, and even a lawyer wouldn’t know until they were retained and reviewed the file.

In a perfect world, maybe.
If those who break the law unintentionally and not repetitively, could face a jury/panel that would not be so intent on meting out justice to the letter of the law...maybe.
But we don't live in a perfect world and breathalyzers have no pity.

you mean resolved. Attorneys don't "solve" anything. You're thinking pf a detective. And you're always free to represent yourself, if that's what you want.

Lawyers are for people who don't want to accept the consequences of their actions.

Some. Yes. It's called probate for example when a will is involved.
We see a ton of invalid wills (many prepared by notaries) that are submitted pro se for probate. We are hired to set aside or amend 10-15 probates per year that were filed pro se and were incorrect. We set aside or amend even more affidavits of small succession. Some are due to incompetence, others are due to bad intent (e.g., "I forgot that I had two brothers and a sister").

Not wise. You do not want to face a DUI without counsel. Also your insurance is going to EFF you for a long time, so I would try to get out of that any way possible.
If you dont fight it and have that on your record, I think we have the executive sales manager of some insurance company around here that would love your business.

Politicians are almost always a lawyer so they pass, sign and enforce laws that benefit them. They have set up a legal and tax system that is dependent on attorneys. Nothing will ever change unless we citizens start voting them out.

Got a DWI when I was young and stupid. I wanted to take responsibility so just went to court at the judges mercy. Pretty much got the same deal as others I know that have gotten one. May have done a day or two more community service, but didn’t see a need in paying a lawyer to argue that down.

If you're obviously guilty you typically pay a lawyer for the relationships they have hoping for a lighter sentence or reduced charge.
shite, if you're not guilty you probably paying for the same. The justice system is as shady as any other industry and you want people who know people.

I get what you're saying about people hiring lawyers out of fear. I once knew someone who handled a minor DWI charge by doing their own research. They found all the relevant info online and managed to get a reduced sentence just by showing up and speaking clearly about their situation. It was impressive!
Practically no one gets a six month parish prison sentence on a true first offense DWI. If that’s all you’re looking to avoid, sure, just walk up to the podium and take your licks.
But if that’s all you think can be done, that’s case in point of why you might want to consider hiring an attorney.

If you think a good lawyer is expensive, wait until you hire a cheap one.

Have you ever read some of Robert Heinlein's science fiction? He had an interesting solution to your question.

I wouldn’t say that most legal cases can be solved without a lawyer. There are some that a person could probably deal with on their own if said person has a normal level of intelligence.
