Finding A Drunk Driving Attorney in Jacksonville

Being charged with a DUI is a serious offense that can result in jail time, loss of your driver's license, and exorbitant fines. Do not make the mistake of hiring the wrong attorney to represent you. Choosing a licensed professional experienced in DUI cases is critical to your defense and your future. A qualified Jacksonville DUI attorney such as those at Robert Shafer & Associates helps you avert all the pitfalls of the legal system.

The following steps can help you easily find the right Jacksonville drunk driving lawyer:

  • Discover what is important to you: Before you begin your search, take a minute to write down what is important to you since this will help you make the best possible choice.
  • Get recommendations: Ask friends and family members who have had similar experiences to give you recommendations.
  • Contact professional legal organizations: Contact the Florida Bar or other legal group for a list of Jacksonville drunk driving attorneys.
  • Research attorneys via the Internet: Surf the Internet for more detailed information about the attorneys who were referred to you.  You can gather a wealth of information about the professional caliber of the drunk driving attorneys in Jacksonville by going to their websites and by doing a Google search.
  • Develop a list of questions for final candidates: After you narrow your choices to two or three attorneys in your area experienced with DUI charges, make a list of questions you want to ask each Jacksonville drunk driving lawyer you plan to contact. You should consider asking the following questions:
    • What are your qualifications?
    • What is your experience with DUI cases?
    • Are you a specialist in Florida DUI law?
    • Do you handle only Jacksonville DUI cases?
    • Will you handle my case or will it be someone else on your team?
    • How long have you specialized in DUI cases?
    • What is your success rate with DUI cases?
    • How might you plan my defense?
    • What is your fee structure?
  • Make your final choice: Review all the information you gathered and compare the strengths and weaknesses of each Jacksonville drunk driving lawyer. You should now be in a good position to choose the attorney who is right for you.
