In the realm of DUI defense, lawyer fees can vary widely based on several factors. At Felix Gonzalez Accident-Injury, we help clarify these differences so you can anticipate the costs ahead. Most DUI attorneys will offer one of the following fee arrangements:

Fixed Fees: Also known as flat fees, this arrangement means your attorney charges a specific amount for handling your DUI case. It often covers routine proceedings but may not include trial or appeals costs.

Hourly Fees: With this model, lawyers bill you for each hour they spend on your case. This can be more unpredictable, as the total cost depends on the complexity and length of your legal process.

Retainer Fees: An upfront cost, a retainer is a deposit against which the attorney deducts fees as they accumulate. This ensures the lawyer's availability and resources for your case.

A lawyer's contract is a binding document that defines the terms of your legal relationship. Our experts at Felix Gonzalez Accident-Injury can guide you through essential contract elements so you feel confident in the agreement you sign.

Scope of Representation: This outlines the services you're hiring the attorney to perform. It's vital to understand what is and isn't included in the fee you're paying.

Payment Schedules: Payment terms, including due dates and methods, should be laid out clearly to avoid any surprise charges.

Additional Expenses: Sometimes, costs like court fees, investigation charges, or expert witness fees are not included in the lawyer's fees. You should be aware of these potential extra costs.

When you meet with a potential attorney, it's important to ask questions to ensure their services align with your needs and budget. Some great questions to consider include:

- What is your experience in handling DUI cases similar to mine?- What fee structure do you use, and how are your services billed?- Can you provide a detailed breakdown of potential additional costs?
