How much is “reasonable” to pay an attorney to handle a 1st offense DUI?
If you ask five different lawyers that question you’ll get five different answers: Most competent attorney’s charge between $750.00 and $1,500.00 to handle a 1st time DUI case, although I’ve heard of rates ranging from $450.00 to $2500.00. In law, like everything else, you tend to get what you pay for! Being railroaded because you didn’t pay enough to obtain competent counsel is worse than hiring better counsel than you need.
