First, some context.

A DUI is a serious criminal charge. And if you’re convicted, can have life-changing consequences.

You should do everything you can to hire the very best DUI lawyer that you can afford. It’s an investment in your future.

However, money and cash flow is an issue for almost everybody.

This is why you absolutely should ask any DUI lawyer that you are speaking to whether they will give you a payment plan.

The good news is most reputable DUI lawyers offer payment plans.

But you should be careful, though.

You need to ask these 4 questions before hiring a DUI lawyer that offers you a payment plan.

*****************
Question 1/ Do they charge interest (on the future payments)?

The answer you’re looking for is no.

The DUI lawyer market is competitive, and most DUI lawyers do not charge interest on payment plans.

If the DUI lawyer you are talking to asks for interest, that is a red flag, and you may want to look for a different DUI lawyer.

*****************
Question 2/ What are the terms of the payment plan?

In other words, how much is each payment, and when is each payment due.

Get 100% clear on this topic.

*****************
Question 3/ What are acceptable ways to pay?

Most DUI lawyers will accept all forms of payment - cash, etransfer, bank deposit, etc.

However, that may not be the case with the DUI lawyer you are speaking to.

Get clarity on how your DUI lawyer expects to be paid.

*****************
Question 4/ (and probably the most important question you need to ask) - What happens if you’re late paying?

While late payment is an uncomfortable topic to ask before you hire a DUI lawyer, you absolutely should ask.

And the reason why is obvious.

Life is expensive. And your cash flow may not be what you thought it was when you hired the DUI lawyer.

So, in that situation, you want to get clarity on what the DUI lawyer will do when you’re late paying.

What will happen with your case?

And, what happens to the previous payments that you have made.

The last thing you want is misunderstandings.

So, ask these 4 questions before you hire a DUI lawyer on a payment plan. You’ll be happy that you did.
