Thank you for asking Remy.

It is indeed hard to find a best lawyer for your defense in Georgia online. The following guidelines may be able to help you to do some initial screening and narrow your list of lawyers down to three or four prospective candidates in Georgia online:

1. You may use the search engines to surf the Internet. Make a research under the name of each lawyer and his or her law firm. Look for any articles or any information that the specific lawyer has done in the past cases regarding DUI.

2. Now, check at biographical information, including whatever you can find on Web sites for the lawyers and their law firms. Check if they have expertise in the area of DUI or if they belong to any reputable associations in Georgia.

3. Ask other people if they have heard of that specific lawyers and what they think about them.

4. You may contact your state bar association or visit their Web site to find out if the lawyers are in good standing.

5. Check out the yellow pages of your telephone directory in Georgia and check if they advertise.

6. Check out the online archives of your local newspaper if there has been any publicity about the lawyer and the cases he handled in Georgia.

7. You may also consider any special needs you have like any language he can speak other than English.

Good luck!
