People looking for the “best dui lawyer” in Eugene, Oregon, need to understand that there no “best” drunk driving attorney. As I spent time explaining in my last my last Oregon DUII blog post, so much of finding the right dui lawyer involves not only experience, but other factors, one of which is personality. The experience of defending against a duii (aka dui, dwi, driving under the influence of intoxicants, “drunk driving”) charge can be taxing. And the psychological stress this places on the accused can be significant. With all the difficulties a DUI charge brings, the least you can do is find an experienced lawyer who you are comfortable interaction with. Collaboration between the client at the DUI criminal defense attorney is critical to coordinate the most effective trial defense.
One factor in choose an experienced criminal defense lawyer to defend against a driving under the influence of intoxicants charge is the attorney’s office location. Many people feel they need to go to a large metropolitan area to hire “the best dui criminal defense lawyer.” This isn’t necessary the wrong approach to finding a good lawyer, but that lawyer is not going to have the insights that a local dui criminal defense lawyer, in my case, in Springfield or Eugene, Oregon. A local criminal defense lawyer knows the prosecutors, the judges, many of the police officers, and others in the system, and that local knowledge can be very valuable. On the other hand, a dui criminal defense lawyer in another city can perhaps be a little more aggressive because he doesn’t have to deal with these same prosecutors and judges every day.
