 Excerpts from Jessica Towne's book: How to Choose a Georgia DUI Lawyer
I've just revised my book "How to Choose a Georgia DUI Lawyer" and it's now ready for the second printing! In celebration, I thought I'd excerpt a few passages for this blog. Remember, if you'd like your own copy, just request it from my website and I'll be happy to send one to you.
"The most important thing to remember when speaking with a potential lawyer is not to be afraid to ask questions. The best and most qualified lawyers will welcome your questions because it shows you have done your homework. Keep in mind when you are interviewing an attorney that the attorney is also interviewing you to see if he or she wants to take your case. A good lawyer would rather represent a truly prepared client, a client who is committed to getting the best legal representation available.
The first question to ask the person who you might be hiring to represent you in court is: 'How many years have you been in practice?'
The answer will tell you much about the attorney's potential experience. Obviously a lawyer who has been in practice ten years has a great deal more experience than one who has only been practicing for three years. But sometimes a lawyer with less overall experience has a great deal of specialized experience."
We'll discuss this in detail in the next question and next blog.
