READER QUESTION:

What is the process of hiring a New York DUI lawyer?

GOOD QUESTION, LAURA.

When you are hiring a New York DUI lawyer, you need to be very aware of the specifics which may apply to your case. It’s very easy for a lawyer to say that they are experienced, or even that they are experienced in your case’s area, but you should challenge them on this to make sure they aren’t lying by omission.

Always ask your lawyer how many of their cases per month are concerning DUI. You should also ask how many cases they have dealt with personally which are like yours. Ask for a run down of the last case this attorney represented which concerned DUI, and most importantly, did they end up winning?

I find that another important question to put forward when you are hiring a New York DUI lawyer is whether or not that lawyer you are talking to will be the same lawyer who takes up your case. Never have a consultation with just anybody, as they won’t be handling your case and thus won’t matter in your evaluation.
