How Do I Choose an Attorney for a DUI?

Answer

Look for an attorney who devotes a substantial share of their practice to DUI defense, understands the technical evidence, and participates in DUI-focused professional organizations. Responsiveness, helpfulness, and your ability to work comfortably with the attorney and team also matter.

DUI defense involves technical and scientific evidence. When choosing an attorney, ask what percentage of their caseload is devoted to DUI defense and whether they regularly handle these cases.

The video also recommends looking for involvement in national and local organizations focused specifically on DUI law. That focus can help an attorney keep up with the specialized issues these cases present.

Consider the experience of working with the team as well. Ask whether they will respond to questions, explain the case helpfully, and communicate in a way that makes you comfortable working together.
