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.

Each DUI lawyer gets a 0–100 LFR Score from nine published factors, led by reputation (25%), practice focus (15%), review volume (10%) and recency (10%). A law firm with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out.

Yes, if they are within 30 mi of the Edwardsville city center, our service radius for DUI and DWI lawyers. Each listing shows where the law firm is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 5% of the LFR Score, so a nearby law firm gets a small edge.

Often, yes. Many states suspend your license separately from the criminal case and give you only days to ask for a hearing: 10 days in California and 15 days in Texas, for example. Check the papers you were given. This is general information, not legal advice.
How is this list of DUI and DWI lawyers in Edwardsville, IL ranked?
By LFR Score only, from public data on reviews, practice focus, office location and hours. Firms labelled “Attorney advertising” paid for that placement; payment never changes a rank, and a rank is not an endorsement.

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.
