Dwidui/How much does it cost to hire a lawyer to defend me?
It depends on the lawyer and the circumstances of the case. We charge flat fees to cover your legal expenses through a jury verdict if the case goes that far. There are additional fees for expert witnesses (usually a forensic chemist) and private investigators. We only use experts and/or investigators after first consulting with you regarding the costs and benefits of retaining them.
Why should I hire a lawyer?
Drunk driving defense is a highly specialized field within the general practice of criminal defense and law, in general. You are permitted, or course, to represent yourself. Many lawyers will take your case and be unaware of potential defenses due to their lack of knowledge in drunk driving defense as opposed to other areas of practice. If you are serious about your case, you should hire someone with the experience and ability to defend you zealously and effectively.
