Reader’s Question:

There is really never a good time to be arrested for DUI. We went out to celebrate my birthday. Of course, we had some drinks. I was the one who drove ourselves home and unexpectedly, we were stopped for a DUI suspicion. I failed the blood alcohol test, thus I was charged for DUI. I want to get the best legal representation. But I want to know, how much would be the fees for an Oklahoma DUI lawyer?

A DUI case is a unique situation. You have to face both conventional court proceedings and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) unlike most other criminal cases. You are right; there is never a good time to be arrested for DUI. So in cases like this, you will need the service of an expert Oklahoma DUI lawyer.

An Oklahoma DUI attorney fees differ greatly, depending on a lot of factors of the case. The fee is normally very high, but could be paid in affordable, easy options. The variation in fee is based on how much effort is expected and involved in the case. A good DUI attorney also adjusts his fee structure to the financial situation of his clients.

Most DUI attorneys follow “set fee structures” when quoting the fee for the cases, regardless of their complexity. That means that you may overpay for DUI attorney services. Overpaying could also occur when a lawyer says that his price quote contains the trial fee.

Just to give you a general idea as to how much would be the fee for an Oklahoma DUI lawyer; it usually ranges from $500-$2,000 depending on the gravity of the offense. But DUI lawyers normally offer free initial consultation. You can learn your rights and choices on the DUI case during the consultation. You can move on to another attorney office if you are not satisfied with the lawyer.
