1)    Excellent Knowledge in Orlando DUI Law

Although most of Florida shares common statutes and regulations, the way DUIs are treated varies between judges, courts and jurisdictions.  A good Orlando DUI defense attorney will have in-depth knowledge about the trends in DUI treatment in Orlando.  They should have good working relationships with judges, prosecutors and law enforcement, and be able to effectively and expeditiously negotiate the Orlando court system.

2)    Appropriate Accreditation and Professional Affiliations

Each court system requires a separate license for an attorney to appear.  A great Orlando DUI attorney will be both Florida Bar certified, and licensed to appear in Orlando criminal and civil courts.  Professional affiliations with reputable legal organizations demonstrate an attorney’s credibility and respect within the legal community.

3)    Field Experience

A DUI lawyer with field experience knows exactly what law enforcement officials are looking for, and are also able to identify where officers are likely to slip-up or overlook.  The attorney knows what information is necessary to disprove a DUI charge, and how to gather and effectively present that information

4)    Trial Experience

In addition to experience in the field, a great DUI lawyer has extensive courtroom experience.  They know what the judges are looking for, and the know how to present an indisputable case.  Many attorneys go through most of their career never having to progress to trial, instead choosing to settle out of court.  However, in the event that your case goes to trial, you need an attorney that is both prepared for and experienced in dealing with this unique set of challenges.

5)    Tenacity

You want an attorney that will defend your case aggressively and without intimidation.  Orlando judges and law enforcement officials are notoriously tough on DUI offenses.  You need an equivalently tough defense attorney to challenge your charges and bring in a favorable settlement or ruling.

6)    Personal and Personable Service

Attorneys are not just paid to represent their clients’ legal rights.  They are also paid to provide quality client service.  Unfortunately, many large criminal defense firms function as case mills, providing minimal client interaction and involvement.  However, a good DUI attorney will go out of their way to provide personal communication, answer all of your questions in a timely manner and keep you abreast of all developments in your case.

7)    Client Satisfaction

A great Orlando DUI lawyer will have a positive reputation with their past clients.  Strong testimonials regarding the attorney’s legal defense capabilities and professional client service are positive signs of that attorney’s overall quality.
