What to Look For In a California Drunk Driving Lawyer

First off, you should feel comfortable with the CA DUI attorney that you want to hire.  This of course means that you have to actually meet with the attorney.  Some law firms use paralegals to interview clients, be sure to ask to talk directly with the California Drunk Driving Lawyer.  Does the attorney answer your questions to your satisfaction?   Did the CA DUI Defense attorney treat you with respect or did you feel that he or she “spoke down” to you?  Does the attorney belong to California criminal defense attorney-associations that reflect their credibility?  Some of the more common California criminal defense attorney-affiliations include:

Furthermore, is the criminal defense attorney experienced with DUI cases?  How many years has this attorney represented DUI clients?  Additionally, did you feel relieved after you spoke with the California DUI Defense Lawyer?  Finally, before you sign a retainer agreement, be sure that you understood the attorney and he or she understood you as well.  Make sure that you are fully aware of all fees.  Most often, fees are paid up-front.  However, some California DUI attorneys will allow you to make payments to them over the course of your case.
