___________

1/ There’s no set price. Huge range of costs

Lawyer costs depend on the Lawyer that you work with, the Lawyer’s perception of the complexity of your case, and how they price a case.

Those fees can range from a few $1,000 to tens of thousands of dollars.

___________

2/ How complex your case is matters

Generally, the more complex a case is, the more the cost will be.

For example, if there was an accident where people were hurt, with multiple witnesses, and you’re challenging the evidence would be a lot more expensive than a straightforward DUI.

___________

3/ Hourly vs Flat fees

It’s common for DUI lawyers to offer a flat rate for a DUI defence, which means that your Lawyer will cap and fix the amount you will have to pay for your defence.

The advantage of a flat fee is certainty. You know how much your defence is going to cost you so you can manage your finances appropriately.

However, many DUI lawyers do not charge flat fees but charge by the hour. If you are faced with this situation, you want to get an idea of how many hours your Lawyer estimates your defence will take.

___________

4/ Will your Lawyer accept payment plans?

Hopefully, you will find a lawyer that you’re comfortable with; however, you still may be concerned about his or her total fee.

In that case, ask your Lawyer if they will accept a payment plan to help with your cash flow.

Many DUI lawyers will accept payment plans. Just ask and find out.

___________

5/ Apply for Legal Aid

If you qualify for legal aid, you will get a legal aid certificate that you can use as payment for a DUI lawyer.

However, the downside of legal aid is that not all lawyers will accept legal aid, so be sure to ask.
