Choosing a California DUI Lawyer

This Article Prepared by the Staff of Kapsack and Bair, LLP

If you have been arrested for a DUI in California, you face the difficult task of choosing a qualified DUI lawyer. Generally, it is a good idea to make a short-list of about three California DUI lawyers and have a consultation with each of them. From those consultations, you should choose the DUI lawyer that you feel will provide you with the best DUI defense while fitting within your budget.

How, though, should you go about choosing which DUI lawyers to include on your short-list? Some factors are obvious: Does their website look professional? Do they respond to emails and phone calls promptly? Do they handle many cases in the county in which you were arrested?

More important than the obvious factors is getting some type of third-party, independent verification of the lawyer's skills and experience in handling California DUI defense cases. Below, in order of priority, we list five places on the Internet where you can quickly obtain information about California DUI lawyers.
