What to Look for When Hiring a Good DUI Lawyer

What to Look for When Hiring a Good DUI Lawyer Hiring a DUI (driving under the influence) lawyer is a big decision, one that requires a lot of consideration, ensuring you choose a lawyer with extensive experience and knowledge. You want to find someone who knows what it takes to help you secure a fast resolution, so you can move on with the rest of your life with confidence.

One of the first steps to finding a good DUI lawyer to manage your particular case is to look for attorneys who have extensive experience dealing with driving under the influence cases, so that they can provide you with the quality legal representation that you expect and deserve.

Remember that in 2016, twenty-six percent of alcohol related road fatalities had a BAC (blood alcohol content) of 0.15%. The legal limit is 0.08%. The courts are not going to listen to you explain your situation, but they will listen to an experienced attorney who is known in the local area and knows what they need to do to secure you a fast resolution.

Next you want to identify the DUI lawyer’s track record in the courtroom. While the majority of attorneys will work hard to secure a resolution without having to go to court, you want to find someone that has experience in the courtroom and who can develop a winning case to plead to the judge and jury to secure the best possible outcome in the long run.

Only ever choose a DUI lawyer who has an ethical record in the local courtrooms. You want to know the attorney you choose is going to win your case in the fairest and most ethical way possible, using the evidence in front of them to create a winning argument.

In addition to this, always take careful note of the attorney and his team's communication skills. When you call them for information or advice, do they reply quickly? Does the team keep you updated on the progress of your case, so you always know what to expect next? You can test the professionalism of the firm by contacting them for information, to discuss your case and maybe set up an initial consultation. How quickly your request is dealt with, how professional the team are and how quickly and confidently they answer questions can give you the peace of mind you need to hire them knowing they offer excellent communication.

Further, you want to choose a DUI lawyer who feels confident about your case and what they can do for you. Of course, there isn't one single driving under the influence attorney who can promise to get you off the charges you are facing, but they can be confident in securing a fair and fast resolution.

The DUI lawyer should provide affordable fees with an easy to understand fee structure. Fees are something that should be discussed in your first consultation, so you can make an informed decision on whether you can afford to pay the attorney or not.

Finally, you want to always choose a DUI lawyer who is local and admitted to practice in your local area or state. The lawyer should also be admitted to practice in the Federal District Courts and should be a member of the Bar. If in the United States, your DUI lawyer should be a member of the Bar of the United States Supreme Court.

Always trust your gut instinct when it comes to choosing a good DUI lawyer that you feel you can trust and work with to secure the best outcome in the long run.
