Can I Get a Cheap Gainesville Florida DUI Attorney?

Reader’s Question:

My son was arrested with DUI here in Gainesville, Florida. I was arrested and convicted for the same offense before. I have talked to him a lot of times about drunk driving and gave him an idea about the consequences but he never listened to me. Now we have to hire the services of an expert DUI lawyer. Can we ever get a cheap DUI lawyer?

Getting arrested for violating Florida DUI Law could be a cause for anxiety. Penalties for DUI conviction could include fines, suspension or confiscation of driver’s license, vehicle immobilization, community service, increase of your insurance fees, and even imprisonment. The penalty depends on the severity of the case. Generally, penalties are lighter for first offense and much heavier for repeat offenses. DUI Law is rather complex and has a very unique nature. Self-representation could be difficult and could cause even more serious consequences. Therefore, it is a wise decision on your part to seek legal help.

But don’t expect that you can really find a cheap and very much experienced DUI lawyer in Gainesville, Florida. DUI lawyers could actually be very costly. To make sure that you can get the best deal for your son, I advise you to scout for lawyers who charge low litigation rates. Take time canvassing from pool of possible candidates.

Make a list of possible Florida DUI lawyers that you want to consider and compare rates. Not all lawyers charge the same; some charge by the hour and some ask for an initial fee for services and additional fees for preceding trials.

If you have already found a DUI lawyer who would represent your son, remember to always sign an agreement with the lawyer regarding fees. Usually, lawyer’s fees start from $500 to a couple of thousands so you may want to short list DUI lawyers within the range of $500 to $800.
