Tips on Hiring a DUI Attorney
10 TIPS ON HIRING A MISSISSIPPI DUI LAWYER
OVER THE TELEPHONE
When you need legal services, most often it starts
with a telephone call. The lawyer will most likely want to meet
you in person; however, should you wish to hire a lawyer over the
telephone, these are the questions that should be asked:
- How long have you been in practice?
- What part of your practice is devoted to the
defense of DUI CASES?
- In what part of the state of Mississippi (or
surrounding states) do you usually practice?
- Have you tried DUI cases in
the Appellate Courts to define or promote DUI
defense?
- How many City and Justice Court DUIs
have you handled?
- How many DUI jury trials have
you tried?
- Have you presented seminars on DUI defense
to other attorneys or taught attorneys how to defend
DUIs?
- Are you trained/certified in the use of the Intoxilizer
5000, The Breath Test machine used in
DUI cases?
- Are you trained/certified in the use of field
sobriety tests such as The-Walk-and-Turn, the
One-Legged Stand, or the Eye Nystagmas
Test?
- Do you have sufficient staff and experts to investigate
AND pursue my case in ALL
Courts?
In addition, check the lawyer out in the community,
as often times the lawyer's reputation will speak louder than anything
else. The lawyer should also handle your case personally, not through
an assistant, unless it is a preliminary matter.Always
ask the lawyer for background information. This should be freely
given. Initial consultations should be without charge; however,
good lawyers are generally expensive in defending criminal matters.I
am available by phone or by office appointment for office consultations.
