How to Choose the Best Best DUI Attorney


| , , ,

How do you choose the best DUI attorney for your case? It’s a common question, and we’re here to help answer it for you.

A drinking and driving charge is overwhelming.

A conviction likely means loss of driving privileges, increased insurance rates, loss of your weapons, and more.

And only one DUI conviction can be expunged, and then only five years after probation has ended.

If you have more than one alcohol related driving charge, you can never expunge any of them.

They’ll be with you for the rest of your life.

It’s difficult to understand the process and what to do next. The best advice is to retain a proven attorney about how to proceed.

However, the problem is deciding which attorney(s) to call.

It may be a good idea to consult more than one attorney before you decide which one to hire.

How To Choose the Best DUI Attorney

You should call an attorney who specializes in and is proven defending clients against driving defense charges.

This specialty that can and will likely lead to a favorable outcome, such as a careless driving conviction or having the entire case dismissed.

Many attorneys with OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) cases will just plead their clients guilty and perform the least work possible.

This is especially true of small practices with one attorney and little to no support staff.

An attorney who specializes in OWI defense will know what to look for in your case and present you with all of the legitimate options for the most favorable resolution.

When faced with an OWI, a specialized attorney will submit motions and find solid issues to argue in your defense that other attorneys are not aware of or over look.

One thing to look for is an attorney with an expertise in science.

The reality is that every DUI case is won or lost on a chemical test.

You have zero chance of winning if your lawyer doesn’t know the science of DUI/OWI cases.

You need an attorney who has scientific training and credentials.

What Can A DUI Attorney Do For Me?

A specialized attorney understands the science behind an OWI investigation such as how alcohol metabolizes in your b0dy, how breath tests work and what their weaknesses are.

Your attorney must also understand the training and methodology of field sobriety testing that the police administer.

Knowledge about these OWI investigatory methods, along with effective trial skills, will provide the attorney with the arsenal necessary to effectively argue in the client’s favor and achieve good results.

One of the most demanding skills an expert DUI lawyer must have is an understanding about breath and blood alcohol testing.

This is where most attorneys fail at defending a case.

If they don’t know how it works, and more importantly, how to fight them, an attorney is useless.

If your attorney has been successful fighting breath and blood alcohol testing in the past, he can do it for you.
