Factors: This section provides you with some helpful tips for controlling or at least understanding the cost of your dui legal representation. The two most important factors are: (1) the facts of your case, and (2) the hourly rate your Akron dui attorney charges. Keep in mind that a defense lawyer is a very wise investment – potentially saving you the costs associated with a DUI conviction.

Fee Structure: Hourly rate charges vary widely among attorneys. They do not always accurately indicate the quality of any particular attorney. Akron DUI lawyers generally charge between $100 per hour, up to around $500 per hour in some cases. Some simply charge a flat fee. Remember, just because one DUI attorney charges less per hour than another DUI lawyer does not necessarily mean that they will ultimately cost you less money. Tip: Try to get an estimate of the number of hours it takes to handle a case like yours.

Your Case: Always tell your Akron DUI lawyer the truth about yourself and your case. Failing to do so will only cost you money and potentially your freedom in the long run. If the facts of your case present unique challenges, then it may take more time to handle your case – thereby making it more expensive to defend you in court.To help with these costs, be sure to be ready to discuss all the details surrounding your arrest during your free initial consultation. That way, you have utilized free time to discuss facts that would otherwise take you money and additional time to recite to your legal counsel.

Fees versus Expenses: Be sure to ask your lawyer if his or her fees include “expenses” like court costs and expert witnesses. In many cases a lawyer’s fees to do not include these things – which is quite customary depending on your case.
