Selecting a lawyre to represent you can be a stressful task. I vividly remember the uncertainty of not knowing who to select as my lawyer. With that in mind I have prepared a simple list of questions to ask yourself:

Is this lawyer experienced and knowledgeable in the area of DUI?

Is this the kind of person you'll want to stand in Court for you, speaking on your behalf?

Does this lawyer really seem to care about you?

Do you feel comfortable confiding in this person?

Do the fees quoted to you seem fair and reasonable?

How long has the lawyer or firm been practicing DUI law?

Is the attorney experienced in DUI defense?

Is the attorney familiar with DUI law?

Is the attorney available when you call the FIRST TIME?

Have they explained both the Court and DMV processes in a way you understand?

Since the number one complaint about lawyers is their lack of accessibility and responsiveness to their client's questions about the status of their case, how and when will you be able to reach this lawyer and expect a response to your questions?

Trust your instincts. A legal action, whether criminal or civil, often ends up being a long-term relationship with the attorney you hire.

Beware:

Most people are quite stressed-out about the entire attorney selection process, and typically will schedule three or four appointments with lawyers and, at the end, worn-out, they just give up and hire the last one they meet. This is why most attorney's require that you come into the office for a "consultation."

Don't let yourself fall for this trick.
