Things to Consider When Hiring a Denver DUI Attorney


Denver DUI Attorney | Criminal Law Denver
Being charged with a DUI is a very serious matter. A conviction can carry with it a minimum of 5 days in jail and a fine of at least $1,000. Your license will likely be suspended for a time, points added, and you will often be required to perform a significant number of public service hours. All of these penalties are for a first offense; additional offenses can carry even more severe punishments. When so much is at stake, it may be wise to contact a Denver DUI attorney to help you navigate the legal system.
 
How do you choose the person who may hold your future in their hands? Take the time to do your research on every recommendation you get. If you have not received any referrals for a great Denver DUI attorney, seek one out using the internet. A simple search will net thousands of results. If you still feel lost, check out the Colorado State Bar website. They typically have features that can connect clients to attorneys who specialize in various fields, including DUI.

When deciding upon your representation, it may be wise to choose an attorney who specializes in DUIs. When an attorney has such a specialization, they often have the process down to a science and may have a greater ability to get you the results you are looking for.

When you have decided that you like an attorney well enough that you may have them represent you, it is wise to confirm your feelings with a consultation. During that meeting, you may wish to get the complete cost of representation throughout the duration of your case. Many attorneys charge per hour, but for cases that are very predictable, they will often charge a flat fee, plus any costs they may expend in your matter, such as fax, postage, and filing fees.
 
The most important thing is to remember not to act without consulting an attorney first. A knowledgeable Denver DUI attorney has the skills and experience to help you come away from this unpleasant ordeal with the best outcome possible.
