How to choose a DUI lawyer
- Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
- Ask how many DUI and DWI defense matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
- Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
- Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
- Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
- Ask whether the fee includes the license suspension hearing as well as the criminal case.
- Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.

How is this list of DUI and DWI lawyers in East Brunswick, NJ ranked?

No, but the lawyer must be licensed in your state (or, for federal matters such as immigration, in some state). A local office makes meetings and court appearances easier, so proximity is one of our factors.
