How to Find a Good DUI Lawyer in Las Vegas
Unfortunately, finding an experienced, competent and ethical DUI lawyer in Las Vegas can be a frustrating process. In considering which Las Vegas DUI lawyer you wish to represent you in this critical event in your life, we would like to offer a few questions which you might wish to consider:
- Does the Las Vegas attorney or firm specialize in DUI defense exclusively?
- Is the attorney a member in good standing of the National College for DUI Defense?
- What is the reputation of the Las Vegas DUI attorney or firm with the police and in the local courts?
- How are they rated by the International Martindale-Hubbell Directory (
AV
is the highest)? - Has the DUI lawyer been disciplined by the Nevada State Bar?
- If your case should go to trial, will you be billed for additional fees?
- Does the fee cover the DMV hearing, expert fees, blood reanalysis, and other costs?
- Will the Nevada DUI attorney provide a written contract setting forth all fees, costs - and any promised results?
You should realize that results in any specific DUI case are largely unpredictable: no ethical lawyer will ever make promises to you concerning the outcome of either the criminal case or the license suspension proceedings. Unfortunately, however, there are attorneys who will make such promises to you - although none of them will commit these promises to writing.
