Some people ask, how do they know which lawyer to hire to represent them on a driving while intoxicated charge?

Hiring the best lawyer for you can be a difficult decision. I often tell clients that some of the most important things they should look for in a lawyer is experience, knowledge of the law, communication/ relationship with the client,  cost, whether a majority of the lawyer’s cases are DWI defense, and perhaps, most importantly, previous results.  Feel free to call Daniel Hynes at (603) 674 - 5183, for a free phone consultation to discuss your options with you.

There are many things to consider when hiring a DUI lawyer. I advise potential clients that the areas most clients find are the most important areas to consider are likely, experience, training, costs and previous results.

Experience - You might want to ask if the lawyer has handled a case similar to yours before, and if so, what was the outcome?

Training - Does the lawyer have specialized training in DWI? Specific DWI training includes Field Sobriety Tests Certifications, as well as training related to Drug Recognition Expert (DRE), if you are charge with DUI Drugs.

Costs - Good DWI lawyers are expensive. The range usually begins at a few thousand dollars, but can be as high as $10,000 or more depending on the type of case. Besides the amount, you may want to know how much you have to pay up front, and if payment plans are available.

A good New Hampshire DWI lawyer will often save you money in the long run.
