Reader’s Question:

We are all saddened for what happened to my brother because he got arrested for DUI in  Florida. How much would a lawyer cost him if he hires a private one?

How much your brother would pay for a lawyer to help him on his DUI case in Boca Ciega, Florida would depend on too many factors to list here. Proper defense for DUI cases would involve a great deal of valuable time and effort so do not expect a low price. If your brother wants the lowest-priced lawyer, he could find to hold his hand as he pleads guilty, the phrase “you get what you pay for” would come to mind. I’d be honest that if you get a cheap lawyer, he would probably show up in court and plead your brother out, but could not do anything to build up defenses that could help your brother win his DUI case.

In other words, if your brother could afford one, a good private DUI lawyer is absolutely the way to go, but get ready to pay because it would really not be cheap. He could consider a few private DUI lawyers and all of them charge between $4000 and $6000 for a pretrial retainer. If he is not prepared to pay for this range, then he could save his money and try to go with a public defender. But that would be not a good idea at all so I suggest he finds a way to hire a qualified DUI lawyer. After all, an experienced DUI lawyer could really help him a lot on his DUI case.
