Questions To Ask Your Lawyer

Houston DWI Attorney

If you have been accused of drunk driving, you should immediately start looking for a Houston DWI attorney who can help you fight the charges. If you’ve never been arrested before though, you might not know what to ask when evaluating the qualifications of a lawyer though. We can help. While we hope that you end up selecting our firm to help represent you in your case, we hope that, above all else, you find a Houston DWI lawyer that can help you find a successful outcome for your case. That is why we have put together this helpful resource with questions to ask any potential drunk driving legal representatives before agreeing to work with them. Be sure to ask:

What are your qualifications and how long have you been in this field?
Have you been defending drunk driving cases for your entire career? If not, how long have you been working on DWI cases and what legal area did you work in prior to that?
Have you ever had a case like mine? If so, what is your record for these types of cases?
What is your success rate?
How many cases have you taken and how many do you handle at once?
Will you be dealing with my case personally or will you have another Houston DWI attorney be my representative? If someone else is involved, can I meet them now?
What are the qualifications of the paralegals and other non-lawyers who will be assisting on my case?
How much do you charge and do you require a retainer? What happens when my retainer runs out?

If you notice the Houston DWI lawyer you are talking to seems to have any problems answering the questions or seems to be afraid to be straight with you, you may want to go elsewhere for your representation.
