Hiring a DWI/DUI Lawyer

Hiring a DWI/DUI Attorney for a Case in Fairfax County or Northern Virginia

Many purchasers of legal services believe that all lawyers have the same training and skills, or that because an attorney advertises in a particular area, he or she has significant experience in that area. This could not be further from the truth. Unfortunately, it is very difficult for a prospective client to effectively evaluate the competency of an attorney before hiring them. As a former prosecutor, I handled thousands of cases and watched my fellow prosecutors handle cases in the largest county in Virginia. I was always amazed at the number of attorneys who primarily practiced divorce law, immigration law, and other non-traffic and non-criminal legal specialties, but who appeared in traffic court representing clients in DWI/DUI and reckless driving cases. Given that these lawyers only dabbled in DWI/DUI and reckless driving matters their clients were at a terrible disadvantage. Criminal/traffic defense is a very specialized and fluid area of the law. Any lawyer who does not devote a substantial portion of his or her law practice to this area is not qualified to handle such a case. Simply having a license to practice law does not mean that a lawyer is competent to practice in every area. Unlike a speeding ticket, DWI and reckless driving are criminal charges. There are lasting consequences for those convicted. Who you hire as an attorney can be the single greatest factor that decides the outcome of your legal situation.
