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.

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. A DUI lawyer should have a good relationship with local prosecutors and be able to identify the judges who are most likely to agree to favorable plea agreements. 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 can make the difference between a dismissal and a 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. An experienced DUI attorney can represent you in court and protect your rights. You need to ensure that your attorney does not become a "feeding tube" for clients. If the attorney you choose doesn't seem to be interested in your case, you should go ahead and interview him or her.

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. When speaking to the police, you must remain calm, polite, and professional. The DWI attorney should be able to explain everything in plain English. After all, you will not want a DWI that ends up in a felony.
