you are interviewing prospective law firms.
These are the TOP TWELVE Questions
you should ask EVERY prospective
DUI
Attorney you speak with:

Will the DUI attorney after whom the Law Firm is named actually be the attorney that appears on my behalf in court?
The ONLY acceptable answer: Yes.
Here's a nice follow up question if the answer is "no":
Who exactly might I expect the actual attorney in court representing me to be? Any idea? Or will you just pick someone when the court date arrives? |

Association ?
The ONLY acceptable answer: Yes. |

Have YOU, not another attorney that you paid to do trials for you,
but have YOU recently had a jury return a verdict of "NOT GUILTY ON ALL
CHARGES" on a DUI case that you PERSONALLY tried in the San Diego
Superior Courts? If so, are those DUI case results and dates VERIFIABLE in the San Diego
County Superior Court offices?
The ONLY acceptable answers: Yes and Yes. |
