If you were the driver, and it is thought that you were driving under the influence, and you have been charged with a DUI or DWI in Florida, you will need a good lawyer to assist you.

There are some things for you to consider when choosing a Florida lawyer to represent you, these considerations will get you the best representation in the court room.

You actually need to interview lawyers, your freedom and future may depend on it. Do not just pick a lawyer from the phone book without actually doing your own research and interviews.

Most Florida lawyers will allow you a 30 minute consultation - you need to make the most of these 30 minutes. Here are some questions you will need to ask.

  • Number of Years as a Florida Lawyer
  • Experience in the court your case will be heard
  • How many similar cases have they been involved in?
  • What was the outcome?
  • What is their fee
  • How many DUI trials have they been involved in?
  • Their basic strategy for a DUI case
  • Ask for references

You will be hard pressed to get full answes to these questions in 30 minutes, you will need to watch the time, record your answers with a pen and paper - this is really important.

When you find the right Florida lawyer, you will know. You will get a sense that the person is able to help you and will do their best on your behalf.

This can type of charge has large financial implications, you are trying to avoid jail, and not end up financially destroyed as a result of your DUI.

Injured by a Drunk Driver Florida

If you are on the other side of the coin, you are the victim, and have been injured by a drunk driver or someone driving under the influence in Florida. This is not your fault.

You too are going to need a lawyer and if the offender did a good job finding a good lawyer, you will need one that is as good or better.

There will be many Florida lawyers who are eager to help the victim in a DUI related accident. They will work on contingency basis most of the time. This means they get a % of your settlement as opposed to paying them for their work.

Because of the fact they will take a % there will be lots of lawyers who want your case. You will need to be diligent in chosing a Florida lawyer to represent you and get the outcome you are seeking. You will need to interview lawyers, lots of them and find one that you are comfortable with.

Things to ask a Florida Lawyer you are considering:

  • How long have they been a lawyer
  • Do they specialize in any type of law
  • How do their fees work
  • How much experience do they have at trial
  • Do they always represent the plaintiff
  • Do they have references
  • What is the expected outcome

I am always cautious if a lawyer only represents the plaintiff. This means they are in it for the money only. A good lawyer should have at least a few cases where they represent the defendant in a case. This gives them insight and experience.

You have to interview - do not just pick any lawyer or use your family corporate lawyer etc. You will know when you find the lawyer that has your best interest at heart, be confident in your choice and you will get the best outcome possible.

I hope this article about Florida Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers helped you.
