Q: I am researching what people think legal representation on a garden variety driving under the influence (DUI) case may cost. If you have hired a lawyer for one in the past how much did you pay. Please keep responses specific to attorney fees Thank You
A: The retainer should cost about $1800.00 to $2000.00 and after you win your case, ( 1st time offender) your attorney should not charge more than additional $3000.00. I know places like Pacific Law Offices charge much more but it really pays to shop around for a specialist in DUI cases.
