10 TIPS ON HIRING A LOUISIANA DUI LAWYER OVER THE TELEPHONE

When you need legal services, it most often starts with a telephone call. The lawyer will most likely want to meet you in person; however should you wish to hire a lawyer over the telephone, these are the questions that should be asked:

1. How long have you been in practice?
2. What part of your practice is devoted to the Defense of DWI CASES?
3. In what part of the state of Louisiana (or Surrounding States) do you usually practice?
4. Have you tried DWI cases in the Appallate Courts to define or promote DWI defense?
5. How many City and Parish Court DWI's have you handled?
6. How many DWI jury trials have you tried?
7. Have you presented Seminars on DWI defense to other Attorneys or taught Attorneys how to defend DWI's?
8. Are you trained/certified in the use of the Intoxilizer 5000, The Breath Test, machine used in DWI cases?
9. Are you trained/certified in the use of field sobriety tests such as The Walk and Turn, the One Legged Stand, or the Eye Nystagmas Test?
10. Do you have sufficient staff and experts to investigate AND pursue my case in ALL Courts?

In addition, check the lawyer out in the community, as often times the lawyers reputation will speak louder than anything else. The lawyer should also handle your case personally, not through an assistant unless it is a preliminary matter or the assistant is thoroughly trained in DWI defense.

Always ask the lawyer for background information. This should be freely given. Inital consultations should be without charge; however, good lawyers are generally expensive in defending criminal matters.
