Driving under the influence is a serious charge, and being convicted carries ramifications that can have major consequences on the rest of your life. If you're facing a DUI, it's important to have the best legal representation available. A skilled attorney with extensive DWI law experience will be able to identify all the legal strategies available to you and help you achieve the best possible outcome for your case. When you need an expert criminal law attorney, follow these tips from MacVean, Lewis, Sherwin & McDermott, P.C., the commercial litigation, criminal defense, and DWI law professionals in Middletown, NY:

  • Focus On Relevant Details: While many attorneys run television and radio ads promoting their services, this doesn't indicate anything about the quality of their work. Instead, look at which professional organizations an attorney belongs to, their history with the state bar association, and any awards they've received.
  • Conduct Multiple Interviews: Unless you have a solid referral from someone you trust completely, it pays to interview at least three attorneys before making your decision. When you're hiring a defense attorney, you're essentially putting your future into someone else's hands, so it pays to invest some time in finding a candidate whose perspective you can rely on.
  • Don't Choose Based On Cost: While cost isn't always an indicator of quality, in many cases it can reflect the quality of service you can expect. Even if a DUI attorney seems expensive, the legal fees will almost certainly be less than the cost of losing your case.
