Hiring A Columbus DUI Lawyer

By Eliza Mendoza


An individual ought to start the process of hiring a Columbus DUI lawyer as soon as he has been arrested. The same case also applies for when a relative or close friend has been arrested for the same. The number of lawyers practicing in this field is very many. You therefore need to take your time when making your selection in order to ensure you get the best lawyer.

Good and experienced lawyers often have a slight advantage over their colleagues. They make publications informing potential clients on what this type of law is all about. An attorney who has a few publications under his belt is considered to be authoritative and experienced than the one without.

This type of case can either end in a jury trial or one can plead guilty. Determine the number of cases that your lawyer has handled before a jury in the past year. The best lawyers are those who will weigh the options available before advising their clients to plead guilty to the charges before them.

Before being arrested, a person will often be given a field sobriety test by the police. An attorney who has taken the field sobriety test will know tricks that can be used to defeat the case against you. You may therefore end up being freed.

The NCCD is a college where only the best lawyers go for further training. In order for any attorney to go there for training, he must be recommended by at least two judges. You will therefore need to check whether he is certified.

Lawyers who have had the chance to lecture their colleagues can also be considered. In order to get such an opportunity, it will mean that the other lawyers consider him or her an expert in this area. He is therefore a professional who is well equipped to offer representation.

During consultations, seek to know how many appeals a firm is able to lodge each year. Lawyers who are able to lodge appeals in order to reverse suspensions are usually the lawyers who have a good and thorough understanding of all applicable laws. Lodging an appeal also requires a lot of effort and skills.

Each firm will often handle a different number of cases in any given year. The more cases it has, it means the larger the number of people who trust the firm. You can therefore put your faith in the firm to deliver on your case.

The location where all consultations are held with the lawyer will also matter. Be wary of lawyers who do not want you to visit their offices. Even though phone consultations may be necessary, at one point during your consultations, you will need to meet at the offices of your lawyer.

When looking for a Columbus DUI lawyer, check whether he has any appraisals or testimonials to share with you. Ask to be provided with the testimonials in order to get a feel of what past clients had to say. The appraisals can also be found online in many review websites.
