Whats the best way for me to find a good lawyer to handle my drunk driving case?
A. The most reliable way to find a lawyer with a good reputation is to ask other lawyers who practice criminal law for a recommendation. Friends or family might also be a good referral source. Another option is to ask the people at the Court who they might recommend. When you meet with the attorney, make sure of four things: (a) He/she has extensive experience in OUIL/UBAL/OWI litigation; (b) He/she has an excellent understanding of the theory and science behind breath and blood testing (indispensable in the cross-examination of prosecution’s witnesses); (c) He/she has ample jury trial experience, and will take appropriate cases all the way to trial rather than just “copping out” his clients; and (d) The financial terms of representation are clear.
