How can I find a qualified drunk driving lawyer?
The best way to find a good DUI/DWI lawyer is by reputation. There are a few attorneys who have national reputations; these, of course, are expensive. Thus, the best approach is to ask other attorneys in the jurisdiction: Who is the best in the area? If you do not know any attorneys, go to the local courthouse and ask people like bailiffs, clerks and public defenders: Who would THEY go to if arrested for drunk driving?
An excellent indication of quality and experience is membership in the National College for DUI Defense. The National College provides the best advanced-level training to the DUI practitioner.

When you meet with the attorney, make sure of three things:
1.They have extensive experience in DUI/DWI litigation.http://www.azduiatty.com/arizona-dui-questions.htm
2. They have a reputation for going to trial in appropriate cases, rather than just "pleading out" their clients.
3.The financial terms of representation are clear and documented.
Some DUI arrestees consider hiring an ex-cop or an ex-prosecutor to represent them. Many attorneys start off their legal careers working for the government to gain experience. Those who stay with a prosecutorial agency
for more that a year or two often do so because they believe they cannot succeed in the competitive world of private practice. You must ask yourself, "Why did this person initially seek to put people like me behind bars?" Some
attorneys make the ex-cop or ex-prosecutor angle a major selling point in their marketing efforts. If prior governmental service appears to be the attorney's number one claim to fame, consider your choice very carefully. The Law Office of Kathleen N. Carey Law Offices, PLC EMPLOYS NO FORMER COPS AND NO FORMER PROSECUTORS. Cops and prosecutors are not our friends and they are not your friends.
