How Much Does A Lawyer Cost for DUI Representation?

Probably about $1000 - $3,000, and that's to keep you out of jail, if this is your first time. Court fines are another thing.

Hi, Thanks for your reply, but will it vary based on regions?

It depends on the lawyer, the size of his staff and firm, his reputation, and his ego.

It depends on lots of things. Call the Bar Association (that's what I gave you) and ask them about lawyers in your county or town.

Thanks for your guidance Jespah.

rule of thumb...2000.00 lawyer... you may get off. 250.00 lawyer....go ahead and buy a moped.

I think in United States it will cost you some thing around $300.

You really don't know WTF you're talking about.

$2,000?

Keep walking ...

I got off...had I been convicted ....
alcohol awareness course out of my pocket... fines levied... what it would do to my insurance.... lost work... it was unfair but under the circumstances a bargain

Double that here in Sand Land.

Truth be told, any attorneys find it impossible to provide an accurate answer. That is because different attorneys have their own fees to compensate their legal services--with the nature of legal service still in question.

However, the basis of these may be hourly (where the client pays the attorney on an hourly visit that the case or consultation consumes), flat-rate (are legal services that has definite matter of work that needs to be done like divorce or last will fillings), retainers (where the client offers an advance payment and the lawyer puts in an special trust in case of emergencies) or contingent fees (which means that the attorney takes no fee from the client but gets a percentage of the settlement or money after the case).

How much do you typically charge, goodmanlaw, for a first time DUI defense?
