Now that you are searching for a DUI lawyer in Athens-Clarke County GA, the thing you have to do to separate the wheat from the chaff is start going to consultations. You should consult with at least five different lawyers, unless, of course, you’ve been around this block before and know just who to hire. Most of you haven’t, though, so bring to your consultation some questions and a notebook. When you get home, you can compare answers and notes and fee agreements, and figure out who is the best for you. Make sure you don’t leave out the following questions:

• What number of years would you say you have been defending DUI cases as a DUI lawyer in Athens-Clarke County GA?
• During those years, have you only occasionaly defended DUIs, or have they made up a large portion of your case load?
• How would you rate that as a percentage?
• And of those cases, what percent would you say you achieved your original goals on?
• What about my case–is it familiar to you? Have you had one like it before me?
• If you have, how did that case turn out?
