Arizona (AZ) - Drunk Driving Attorneys

Lawyers who defend DUI cases according to Arizona DUI Law charge a wide range of fees, in a variety of structures. Because there is such a large range, it may be helpful to interview several lawyers with various fee ranges to discern their differences.

The rules of ethics governing lawyer conduct prohibit lawyers from representing clients on a contingent fee basis in DUI cases. Therefore, no competent DUI lawyer will enter into an agreement where the client pays only if the lawyer wins. Other than that limitation, you will find a wide range of fees structures and billing practices among DUI defense attorneys.

The most common fee structure is the flat fee. Under this arrangement, the client pays a predetermined amount up-front. This covers the entire matter, no matter how much work it requires, and no matter if it goes to trial or is settled without litigation.

A variation of this structure splits the flat fee into several phases. For instances, an attorney may charge a flat fee for everything up until a jury trial, and then charge an additional fee if the case proceeds to a trial.
