Review Many Lawyers that Handle Georgia DUI’s: Does the lawyers message fit with your desired representation? Is the lawyer informative or just interested in talking about how great they are? Where is their office located?

Check the Content of the DUI Lawyer’s Website: Does the DUI lawyer’s website give you helpful information or want your money ASAP? Does the lawyer take the time to explain and shine light on important DUI issues or is everything an alleged calamity that can only be solved with a payment to that lawyer?
Who Will Be Your Lawyer? If you meet with an “Oakwood DUI Lawyer” in their downtown Atlanta office, ask: Who is actually going to court on my case? Who will be answering my calls and emails?
