DUI Lawyers
A DUI arrest sets two cases in motion at once: the criminal charge and a separate fight over your driver's license, which often has a much shorter deadline. An attorney who handles drunk-driving cases can challenge the traffic stop, the field sobriety tests, and the breath or blood test — and keep you driving legally while the case is pending. The attorneys below handle DUI and drunk-driving defense.

Common questions
What should I do right after a DUI arrest?
Write down everything you remember — where you were stopped, what the officer said and did, and whether you took any tests. Keep the paperwork the officer gave you, and do not miss the license-hearing deadline, which is usually only days away.
Will I lose my driver's license?
Not automatically. In most states you can request a hearing to contest the suspension, but the window is short — often 7 to 15 days. An attorney can request the hearing for you and argue to keep your driving privileges.
How do DUI attorneys charge?
Many handle DUI cases for a flat fee, while others bill hourly. Ask what the fee covers — court appearances, the license hearing, trial — and get it in writing before you sign anything.
Should I hire a local DUI attorney?
It helps. DUI law, court customs, and even the prosecutors vary by county. An attorney who appears in your courthouse regularly knows the local procedures and the people involved.
