DUI Defense Attorney

Finding the Right DUI Defense Attorney

Driving while under the influence or DUI, DWI, are very specific charges that can be handled very differently from state to state. What is very similar is the process used to find a lawyer who specializes in the field to make sure you get the best DUI defense attorney possible.

Know The Track Record of Your DUI Defense Attorney

In order to practice law an attorney must be associated with your states bar association. This is the perfect place to begin looking for information on whether you are getting the right lawyer to represent you. Some bar associations even have win loss records and search engines that will locate attorneys that specialize in impaired defense.  What you want is a DUI lawyer who has experience defending driving while intoxicated or similar cases. An inexperienced DUI defense attorney in this field can take a weekend type seminar course and hang a certificate that makes it look like they are DUI/DWI experts.

You want someone to represent you who has had numerous cases similar to your situation and shown that they can win a case if presented with the right set of circumstances similar to yours. Another point to keep in mind is you want to make sure you feel comfortable sharing any and all information with your DUI defense attorney. If something rubs you the wrong way or you feel you cannot be completely honest or trust them, you need to keep looking for the right fit.

Your First Consultation with a DUI Defense Attorney

 When finding a DUI defense attorney you will want to meet with as many different lawyers as you can. This is the spot most people make their biggest mistake in looking for representation. They do not want to take the time to do research and will usually meet with a few attorneys before making their selection. You should spread a wide net. Most attorneys will not charge you a fee to meet with you for your initial consultation, but it is important you do your due diligence and meet with as many lawyers as you can so you can make an informed decision. While it may seem like a waste of time, what you risk by not selecting your counsel from a large talent pool is your right to drive in some states.

Come Prepared When Meeting With Your DUI Defense Attorney

 Make sure you come prepared with all the facts relevant to your case and that you be completely honest with even the smallest of details.  You are not standing before a judge yet, but it is vitally important that you be honest and forthright at this stage of the process. It doesn’t help anyone involved if you are not completely upfront with your would be lawyer, as it may mean a bad fit for you and the defense of your case as a whole.

Ask Your DUI Defense Attorney Many Questions

 Make sure you ask questions about your case and don’t worry about asking the smallest of details. Some people try to avoid asking a lot of questions, but your DUI defense attorney should welcome a chance to answer any concerns or special facts that may be pertinent to your case. It also shows that you have done your homework and are serious about defending yourself.
