What is a DUI Lawyer?

A good DUI lawyer will consult with his client and explain the possible scenarios if she is convicted: a suspended or revoked driving license, fees, fines, and/or jail-time. Typically, an experienced DUI lawyer will challenge the arrest, try to convince the Court to lower the charges, or attempt to reduce the sentence against the defendant. Oftentimes the lawyer will dispute whether the police officer was within his constitutional rights to stop the car and he may question, in court, whether the testing was accurate.Choosing a good DUI lawyer can be an overwhelming task. In most cities, the phone book is overrun with lawyers who specialize in driving under the influence cases. Word of mouth is often a great way to find a reputable attorney.

Research your choices and see who can best work your case. Consider his fees and experience. Some DUI lawyers charge a flat fee for handling a defendant’s case. Others charge by the hour, charging for each minute spent working on the case and for any office supplies used to prepare for a hearing.
