DUI Lawyer In Georgia

As you have been reading all of these post, perhaps you have gotten a little depressed–I’m out of luck, you might think. I don’t have the money for a Georgia DUI lawyer and I have a case that means I really, really need one.

I’m sure you have heard that in the United States, you have a right to legal counsel, correct? Well, while this defense opportunity may not be true for every DUI case there is, for some of the more serious ones it definitely is, so if you have a felony or often a misdemeanor as well, you could have the right to the state providing you with a public attorney.

Public lawyers are at least experienced and may have a more in-depth look of things from both sides than do their peers who only work in the private sector. However, their motivation is just to get their work done and go home, not necessarily to be as aggressive as you want them to be. It would be wise to at least research some local DUI lawyers in Georgia to see if you can find one willing to take your case with a payment plan. And if you can’t afford to hire an attorney, make sure you are as helpful and communicative as you can be with your state-appointed attorney to get the best results as possible.

READER QUESTION:

I have seen the phrase “AV Rated Georgia DUI Lawyer” on a lot of advertisements. Can you tell me what that is?

Sure I can, Marjane.

The fact that a Georgia attorney is listed as an AV rated DUI lawyer doesn’t tell you a lot unless it tells you what kind of AV rating they got. But just for your information, the AV rating tells you what kind of quality the attorney is, or at least according to their colleagues on the Georgia Bar.

An AV rating comes from many things: it is hinged on the lawyer’s experience, it includes information about how well they defend the cases they choose, it also considers their knowledge and their participation in the law community.

An AV rated Georgia DUI lawyer with a good rating is the best kind of lawyer, and often has higher prices as well–because, you know, they can. This means such a lawyer may be out of your reach if you don’t have tens of thousands of dollars to defend yourself. Even if you can’t afford a high-priced AV rated Georgia DUI lawyer, it may be a good idea to contact a couple during your attorney search to find out exactly what services and expertise you would get for that money. Then you can use that information to help you choose an attorney in your price range who is best qualified to provide that same level of service. If you can’t afford an AV rated attorney, you at least want a “wanna be” who is working hard at getting to that level.
