ATLANTA DUI ATTORNEY
The initial interview with an Atlanta DUI Attorney
Building an attorney-client relationship happens
during the initial Atlanta DUI attorney interview.
The establishment of cooperation and trust of
the client is created, pertinent information
is gathered about your case, the costs and fees
involved and the process in which your Atlanta
DUI attorney will defend your case.
Honesty and openness is the key to a good attorney-client
relationship. It is so important for the client
to share all information with the DUI
attorney.
There is no reason to be embarrassed or ashamed
and hold information back. It could harm you
in the future if your Atlanta DUI attorney is
not aware of certain facts or secrets. At your
first meeting be sure to bring all pertinent
documents about your case such as, the citation,
notice of suspension, the results of your breath/blood
test, etc.
It will also be good time to discuss the implications
of the charges and what the possible fines, penalties
or jail time may be. We will discuss the procedures
of the court system that must be followed for
an Atlanta DUI arrest. An Atlanta DUI attorney
is not able to make any promises or guarantees
as a result of their representation.
Attorney fees will also be a topic of discussion
at this meeting. Your Atlanta DUI attorney will
be frank and honest with you and explain how
all the fees will play out depending upon whether
you settle out of court or require a full jury
trial. A payment schedule can also be discussed
at this time with your Atlanta DUI attorney.
It would be wise to not include any third party
members at the initial interview. The only exception
to this would be if a minor is involved in the
DUI and it would good to have a parent or legal
guardian present as well.
The best advice would be to
show up to the initial DUI attorney meeting with
a positive attitude, do some research on DUI
laws and penalties and have a list of questions
for your Atlanta DUI attorney.
