Is it worth it to hire a DUI attorney?

I had 3 beers on my birthday and got pulled over for not using my light signal on a lane change. The cop had me do a breathalyzer and it was just barely above the legal limit.
I spoke to an attorney and he said that if I do the required DUI school and community service that normally comes with a DUI conviction before my court date, that the DA may be willing to plea it down to only reckless driving. This is mainly because my BAC was barely over the limit and I am a first-time offender with a clean record.
Do I actually need to spend $3000+ on an attorney to arrange a deal or could I actually contact the DA’s office myself and see if they’d be willing to make a deal with me?
