Another DUI Myth: Any Lawyer Can Represent Me In A DUI Case
Posted by Ted Agnick, The Lawyer | Posted in Choosing A DUI Attorney, Misdemeanor DUI | Posted on 21-03-2009
DUIs have very unique issues not present in other criminal cases. That is why it is unlikely a regular criminal lawyer can represent you as well as a lawyer very familiar with DUI cases. Clearly, this is not an area other lawyers can dable in and do a proper job unless they can spend an inordinate of time getting up to speed. I have received calls from lawyers asking for help because they represented a client, in a DUI case, they were trying to help and realized they got in over their head. This is a key mistake you cannot make and should not make as you do not have to.
Typically, you can hire a lawyer with ten years DUI experience for the price of one with five DUI years. You should try and get somebody with as much DUI experience as possible. A good way to measure DUI experience is that the lawyer’s case load should consist of 51% or more DUI cases during each year of their experience. The higher the percentage, the better.
