  1. What makes a Great DUI Defense Attorney

  2. AN ATTORNEY SHOULD COME RECOMMENDED When looking for the best DUI Defense Attorney, you should start by seeking out recommendations. It would not hurt to ask around among your close friends and colleagues who have been in similar situations. A close friend or colleague could offer information about an attorney they hired and the outcome of their situation. If you do not want to ask your friends or family for a recommendation, be sure to ask the attorney that you hire for past client references, who may be willing to speak with you.

  3. CONSIDER THE ATTORNEY’S QUALIFICATIONS Just like every other profession, there are outstanding attorneys and there are not so great ones. A critical difference between the two lies in their qualifications. Are they licensed? Are they registered on the State Bar website? How much experience do they have as a DUI Defense Attorney ? How many DUI cases have they handled successfully? Do they have any experience in a DUI case that is similar to yours? What happened in this case? These are some of the essential questions that you should ask before choosing an attorney. You should select an attorney who has extensive knowledge and experience in the DUI field specifically. While other attorneys can still handle your case, a DUI attorney is the best option because they have more in-depth knowledge and understanding of California DUI laws, and the possible defenses.

  4. A GREAT ATTORNEY DOES NOT FORM ANY PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS A reasonable attorney is driven by his legal and constitutional obligation to win the case or come to the best possible outcome, whether or not they believe that you are guilty. They typically work from the phrase “Innocent until proven guilty.” While the attorney may ask about any prior convictions, their primary duty is to work their way around the current problem. In line with this, a great DUI attorney(first time dui ) will not accept the prosecutor’s or police statements without collecting evidence (or conducting Discovery) for more information. A competent attorney will protect your constitutional rights. For example, an attorney will always remind you to exercise and uphold the Fifth Amendment, that is, the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney, as your fundamental constitutional right.

  5. STELLAR INVESTIGATIVE/RESEARCH SKILLS This is possibly the most essential quality that a brilliant attorney should have. Their research skills should be at par or better than police work. This is what makes the most significant difference between successful attorneys and haphazard lawyers. At any given point, the prosecutor and the police will have incriminating evidence against you. Attorneys(dui first time offender) should conduct in-depth research for your case to find out missing information that can help your case. Research can include anything around your DUI: from social media communications to what you ate for breakfast. They will make every possible attempt to try and find out exactly what occurred and how to use this to your advantage in court. At the end of the day, an experienced DUI attorney knows that the evidence they have (or don’t have) will determine the success or failure of your case.

  6. SUPERB NEGOTIATION SKILLS Coupled with great investigative skills, a great DUI lawyer should be a strong negotiator. Negotiation is more than just begging for a reprieve. While negotiating for your penance, there are two things that an attorney should consider: what you deserve as per your offense and your likelihood of a conviction. This is why a responsible attorney will ask you to remain transparent with him at all times and divulge all the minor details around the DUI incident(high bac dui jail ). By doing this, the attorney can highlight the prosecutor’s weaknesses and the flaws in their case against you. With all of these strategic tools, your attorney can argue on the best possible outcome.
