Before You Hire One, Read This

Not every DUI attorney is going to be the right fit for your case. Every attorney has their limitations. It's sad to say, but it's true. No matter who you go with, don't expect a miracle to happen.

THE GUARANTEE

Don't believe everything a lawyer says. Most of them lie, at least half of the time. It's best to know that going in. If your lawyer tells you the case is a "slam dunk" or it's "in the bag", question it right away.

Ask him or her to prove that. Ask them to put it all in writing. If the person is a good attorney, they will be honest with you, right from the start. They will tell you that nothing is going to be a guarantee.

ARE THEY THE RIGHT FIT

Just because they have tried a case, doesn't mean that he or she can handle yours. Most assume that every attorney can deal with any sort of case. This is not true.

Speak with him or her about your case. Let them know what is going on. If they are honest with you, they will tell you if they can do it or not. They will explain to you what they expect from you and what you can expect from them.

Sometimes handling your case has nothing to do with credentials either. Sometimes it has to do with time. Do they have the time to take on your case. If they don't, they will recommend you to another lawyer. Click on this link to find good DUI Lawyers.

If they can't handle your case, don't pressure them about it. There is usually a reason behind it.
