Reader’s Question:

What may be the cost and fees for hiring a DWI attorney in Georgia?

Allan

Thank you for asking Allan.

Georgia DWI attorneys charge legal fees which depends on the type of case you have and the amount of time the lawyer will spend on your case. You may also choose from different types of paying schemes that include hourly flat charges and contingent fees. Hourly rates are calculated by multiplying the lawyer’s hourly rate with the number of hours he spends on your case.

Contingent fees are payments whereby lawyers receive a pre-approved percentage of the amount you may receive if the case won. A fixed rate places a ceiling on the legal fees a lawyer may charge. Normally lawyers calculate their legal fees without including court costs and filing fees that you, as the client, need to pay at once. Always remember to ask for a detailed explanation of a lawyer’s fees and payment modes before you even hire a lawyer in Georgia.

Georgia DWI attorneys charge fees are on the agreed amount that you are both comfortable with. Payment varies from lawyer to lawyer so there are no fee schedules recommended.

Goodluck!
