How to Find a DUI Lawyer in Los Angeles CA

Aug. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Choosing the right DUI lawyer in Los Angeles can ultimately be the difference between going to jail or walking away with probation and fines. There are a few things you can do to find the right criminal defense lawyer to represent your case. There are a few easy steps that you should follow to find the right lawyer.

First thing first, you should never talk to a middle man or a paralegal to discuss your case with. A paralegal can not come to court and defend you, so why talk to one to begin with. You should always make the time to go and see the attorney who will represent you in person. Take some notes and right all of your questions down if you think you might forget them. You probably need about an hour to discuss your case and all the details about your case. Do not be shy about anything. Ask about anything and everything that might eventually effect your case in a court of law. If you felt that the lawyer is not answering all of your questions and rushing you to make a decision just get up and leave their office. If they can not take their time to explain to you all of your rights, they are not probably good candidate to start a relationship with.

Secondly, make sure that you know everything about the cost of your case. Ask them if there are any hidden fees or extra charges that you need to know. Usually when you hire a DUI lawyer in Los Angeles, they will come up with a flat rate to cover all the costs. If your case ends up in a trial, you have to pay more money out of your pocket because the DUI lawyer will spend more time in court and your case. Do not assume anything about the cost and make sure you have covered everything.

Thirdly, if you are looking for a DUI lawyer in Los Angeles, CA make sure you choose a small size law firm. DUI lawyers and lawyers who work in a small size law firm are the ones you want to go after. These law firms are never busy for your case and will do things the right way. Small firms can be very selective and powerful teams to work with. The fact that they are small will allow them to stick to their core belief that their criminal defense clients are getting all the attention and best served.

Last but not least, stay away from former police officers or former prosecutors. Many but not all of these attorneys have switched sides in order to make more money. Most of them are good criminal attorneys and criminal lawyers, however, can not overcome the initial mind set that led them to a career in criminal law in the first place. Gurovich, Berk & Associates are a perfect example. Their position has always been with the underdog, with the defendant. They stand, and have always stood for the constitutional rights of the individual versus that of the government.
