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.
Questions to ask a DUI lawyer
- How would you approach a matter like mine, and what are the realistic options?
- How do you charge, and what will the total likely cost?
- Who will be my main contact, and how quickly do you reply?
- Does your fee include the license hearing?
- What happens to my license while the case is open?
- Is there any conflict of interest that would stop you representing me?
Terms explained
- Contingency fee
- A fee that is a share of the money recovered, paid only if there is a recovery. Common in injury cases; not allowed for criminal defense or for securing a divorce.
- Retainer

- Board certification

- The rule that keeps confidential communications between a client and lawyer, made for legal advice, out of court.
- Conflict check
- The search a firm runs before taking a matter to make sure it does not represent someone on the other side.

The median Google rating among 35 rated DUI and DWI lawyers in Los Angeles is 5.0★, with a median of 22 reviews. Kraut Law Group Criminal & DUI Lawyers has the most, 311 reviews, and ranks #3. We adjust ratings for review count, so a few five-star reviews cannot top the list.
How does LawFirmsRanked rank DUI and DWI lawyers?
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. Only law firms with a confirmed practice area and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.
Do DUI and DWI lawyers outside Los Angeles count in this ranking?
Yes, if they are within 30 mi of the Los Angeles 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.
Can DUI and DWI lawyers pay to rank higher on LawFirmsRanked?
No. The LFR Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured law firms may appear above the list, labelled Attorney advertising and showing their honest rank.
How do DUI and DWI lawyers in Los Angeles, CA charge?
DUI lawyers usually charge a flat fee for the criminal case, sometimes with a separate fee for the license hearing or a trial. Contingency fees are not allowed in criminal cases. Ask for the fee arrangement in writing before you agree.
Is there a deadline after a DUI or DWI arrest?
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 Los Angeles, CA 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.
Does a lawyer need an office in Los Angeles?
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.
