When I go to hire a lawyer, I know technically that I should be considering a lot of things–experience, success, knowledge–but you know there’s still only one thing on my mindL: how much am I going to pay for this?

The crazy thing is, it’s not only the quoted rate that should answer that question–HOW you pay for your Louisvill Kentucky DUI attorney is also relevant, because a quote is just a quote and can change, so you need to know the limits of the actual method.

A Louisville Kentucky DUI attorney will charge you, in most cases, either a standard fee or an hourly rate. Which one is best for you depends on what kind of case you have. If you have a hard one that’s probably going to be long and drawn out and require a lot of time put in it, avoid the hourly rate! Those dollars add up. On the other hand, if you have a pretty open and shut case, like if you have only your first time getting a DUI, with no complications like possible job loss or an accident, then you might do fine with the hourly rate, but you still need to watch how much they charge per hour. Cheap isn’t always bad, but it isn’t always good, either.
