How Do I Choose a DWI Lawyer?

Research the background and track record of any DWI lawyer you are considering hiring. You can also look at their reviews and references to get an idea of what type of representation they provide. While most attorneys are proud of the work they do, you should be cautious of those who seem unhappy with the results. The best way to find out if an attorney is reputable and trustworthy is to talk to clients of that attorney.

Experience is also an important factor. It is important to ensure that the DUI lawyer you hire has extensive trial experience. Although the number of years practicing law isn't always indicative of the quality of an attorney, you should ask how many trials he has won. While some lawyers don't go to trial very often, others are regularly handling cases with a high number of DUI charges. Repeated exposure to different kinds of cases helps the lawyer anticipates the outcome of your case and offer options that will help you get the best result possible.

When choosing a DWI lawyer, you should be aware of the fees associated with the service. Typically, DUI attorneys charge based on their level of experience and success. You will pay more for court fees, jail time, and a damaged history if you hire an attorney with no experience or poor track records. An experienced DWI lawyer will charge fees proportional to his expertise and will know the difference between good and poor evidence.

An experienced DUI lawyer will be familiar with the DMV office in your state and the local court system. He should also have personal relationships with prosecutors in your area and know the local judges' tendency to negotiate favorable plea deals. These factors may give him an edge over other DUI lawyers. But in general, a DWI lawyer should be familiar with the local scene. This knowledge could make all the difference between dismissal or conviction.

Interviewing multiple lawyers is the most important step to hiring a DWI attorney. Although some may think hiring a lawyer is unnecessary for the best representation, it is essential. A DUI attorney will be technically adept in representing you in court and representing your interests. It is important to make sure that your attorney is not a "feeding machine" for a client. You should interview any attorney who doesn't seem interested in your case.

You cannot lie to the police or resist being detained for DWI. If you were arrested for a DWI, you have the right to refuse to answer questions that may seem personal. You must be calm, polite, and professional when speaking with the police. Your DWI attorney should also be able to explain the process in simple terms. After all, you will not want a DWI that ends up in a felony.
