How Do I Choose a DWI Lawyer?

Research the background and track record of any DWI lawyer you are considering hiring. To get a better idea of the type of representation they offer, you can look at their references and reviews. Most attorneys are proud of their work, but you should be wary of those who don't appear to be happy with the results. The best way to find out if an attorney is reputable and trustworthy is to talk to clients of that attorney.

It is important to have experience. It is important to ensure that the DUI lawyer you hire has extensive trial experience. While the length of time spent in practice of law does not always indicate the quality of an attorney's work, it is a good idea to ask about the number of trials he has won. Some lawyers aren't likely to go to trial, while others regularly handle cases involving high-level 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.

You should consider the costs associated with hiring a DWI attorney. Typically, DUI attorneys charge based on their level of experience and success. If you're hiring an attorney who has no experience or a poor track record, you'll end up paying more for court fines, jail time, and a damaged record. An experienced DWI lawyer will charge fees proportional to his expertise and will know the difference between good and poor evidence.

A DUI lawyer should be familiar with your state's DMV office and the court system in your city. 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. While some people might think that hiring a lawyer is unnecessary, it is a necessity for the best representation. 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. You have the right to refuse any questions you may feel personal if you are arrested for DWI. When speaking to the police, you must remain calm, polite, and professional. 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.
