3 Tips to Finding the Right Kansas DUI Defense Attorney
By Adam Peer - Owner of The Law Office of Adam Peer, LLC
When facing a Kansas DUI charge, it is advisable to hire the right DUI defense attorney. Operating or attempting to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can affect your personal life, professional life, and can result in jail time along with a substantial fine. Finding the right DUI defense attorney is not an easy task and not one you should take lightly. While the proliferation of information regarding this topic may cause confusion, looking at a few key factors can help narrow down your options.
If you are struggling to find the best drunk driving lawyers, here are 3 tips that will definitely help you select one
Specialization
Before you shortlist an attorney, be sure to hire one who specializes in and has experience handling DUI cases. If they also specialize in other fields of law like criminal defense or divorce law, ask them about the number of DUI cases that they handle. This will give you a fair idea about the lawyer’s knowledge and experience with DUI cases.
Knowledge of Local Laws
Every state in the US has different laws. DUI laws in Florida are completely different from the ones followed in Pennsylvania. That is why hiring a local DUI defense attorney, one familiar with and actively practicing in the Kansas City area, makes the most sense. By hiring an experienced and skilled Kansas City DUI defense attorney, you will secure an advocate who likely knows the judge and how your specific courtroom will function, as well as one who has a relationship with the prosecutor assigned to your case. Your attorney will not be able to change the law, but hiring the right DUI defense attorney can increase your chances of tilting the balance of justice in your favor.
Up to date Knowledge of DUI Laws
Like many other areas of the law, DUI laws are complex and dynamic. They change frequently based upon legislative updates as well as judicial interpretations of the law that courts issue periodically through. Before hiring an attorney, make sure he or she knows the law and remains diligently committed to remaining informed as to its developments.
