You might feel that choosing a DUI lawyer is pretty tough.
And you’re right.
It is tough to know whether any particular DUI lawyer knows how to effectively defend a Virginia driving while under the influence of alcohol (DUI / DWI) case.
That is, unless you know what’s important in a DUI defense. I’ve come up with 15 criteria, which I’ve made into questions that you should ask any DUI lawyer you’re considering.
