If you've been charged with a DWI, then
you should hire a DWI lawyer to represent you. The penalties of being convicted
for DWI can be severe, resulting in lost wages, fines and fees, a suspended
license, a requirement to attend DWI school or even jail time in some cases.
A DWI lawyer might be able to assist you in
getting your charges dismissed completely or work out a favorable plea for you,
depending upon the circumstances surrounding your case. However, there are a
few questions you should ask before settling on the DWI lawyer you're going to
retain.
Who Will be Responsible for My Case?
It's important to know if the DWI lawyer you hire is the one who is actually
going to be handling your case. Because many lawyers are part of a large law
firm, it is possible for your case to be handled by more than one attorney.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, as more eyes on a case can often lead to a
favorable outcome, but you should be comfortable with the idea before hiring
someone.
What Representation is Included In Your Fee?
This is an extremely important question to ask, since some DWI lawyers charge
by the hour and others charge a flat fee. Make sure you understand the lawyer's
fee structure.
