Thanks For asking Chris.

When hiring a Palm Beach DUI attorney, it’s most beneficial to be as inquisitive as possible. ASK! About everything! Remember, you have center stage here, so don’t just take vague statements. You need to hire a lawyer you are comfortable with, and also one that knows their stuff.

Make sure your lawyer defines their experience. When they say they have however many years of experience, in what? In DUI law? If not, then get out. If yes, ask them how many DUI cases they handle, and what percentage that is of their workload. When did they last handle a DUI case, and how did it turn out? Do they stay on top of changes in current laws, do they attend conferences on DUI defense, and so on?

You also have to make sure that they have an understanding of your case and can communicate it to you. If they can’t get their point accross to you, then there’s nothing you can do. They also need to have fair fees for their services, and be able to explain them to you.
