Arrested for a DUI or DWI in Hoover, Alabama? As you probably realized, the consequences can be very severe if you are found guilty of violating laws on DUI in Alabama. Hiring an experienced Hoover DWI lawyer is the best way to protect your rights. It is imperative that you contact a qualified Hoover DWI attorney immediately if you need representation.

A DUI conviction is more expensive than the cost of an attorney. For example, you will likely be dropped from your insurance plan, and will have to purchase extremely expensive SR22 insurance (not to mention that you likely face a minimum jail sentence and expensive fines by the state of Alabama).
 

Even if you think you have a difficult case, do not plead guilty without speaking to a local Hoover DUI attorney about your rights
 

If you plead guilty, you automatically agree to have a criminal record. You are also subject to pay a fine and/or go to jail, or both. You also forfeit your rights to defend yourself. Pleading guilty doesn’t make any sense if you can avoid the charges against you or face a lesser charge. To fight the drunk driving charges against you, you need an experienced Hoover DUI attorney to represent you. Skilled attorneys know how to challenge the types of tests administered by the police – faulty field sobriety tests, improperly administered breathalyzer tests, and other devices and methods used to determine your blood alcohol content.

Expensive? The truth about the expense of hiring a drunk driving dui lawyer in Hoover, Alabama

Factors: The amount you will have to pay for a DUI Hoover attorney depends on two factors: (1) the specific facts of your particular case, and (2) the attorney you choose to work with. Keep this in mind though: a drunk driving criminal record is far more expensive than the expense of any Hoover defense lawyer.

Fee Structure: Hoover DUI lawyers usually charge an hourly rate. That rate can vary between around $100 up to $500 per hour. In some cases, you may be able to negotiate a lump sum rate for your representation. Before you agree to hire any attorney, try to get your lawyer to give you an estimate of the total cost to you. This way, you and your Hoover DUI lawyer are more likely to be on the same page.

Your Case: The other main element that impacts the cost of defending your drunk driving case is the facts of your case. The more time your Hoover DUI lawyer needs to spend on your matter, the more expensive it will be to defend you. In many cases, lawyers need to challenge the legality of the stop, or the results of the breathalyzer test, or they may need to carefully negotiate with a difficult county prosecutor. These nuances are not always a bad thing – as they may be avenues for defending your case. In any event, you will want to maximize the time that your attorney does spend with you – that means arriving prepared to meetings, on time, and being candid by always being honest with your Hoover DUI attorney. By doing so, you will give yourself the best opportunity for a strong defense, and you will likely save time and money in the process.

Fees versus Expenses: Your hourly attorney fees may not comprise the whole bill. Be sure to discuss any additional “expenses” that may be necessary to pay for your defense, such as expert witness fees and court costs.
