I was arrested and cited on 2nd DUI + violation of probation from the 1st DUI.

My question is, do I really need an attorney?

The officer had a probable cause to stop me, and my BAC was higher than limit anyway, and they didn’t violate my civil rights in any way.

What can an attorney do for me provided that the law is pretty cut and dry in this case?

I know I will get my license suspended for 1 year anyway, for which I may or may not be able to re-apply after 3 mo IF the new law kicks in – with or without an attorney. I still have to go to 18 mo. DUI school with or without an attorney.

I don’t mind going to jail for 3 days, or community service, or whatever I can negotiate.

Can I get a better deal if I have an atty.?

It seems like attorneys are trying to scare me by saying my case is so complex, blah, blah, blah, and I may have to go to jail…. etc.

I have met lots of 2nd DUI offenders through my DUI school in the past and most of them said they could have gotten the same deal they got without their attorneys anyway.

There is this thing called ‘standard offer’ and it really seems you are going to get that ‘standard offer’ anyway unless your attorney goes to trial, and I don’t believe that any attorney will take my losing case to trial for a flat fee of 00

What is the best type of attorney to contact about student loan debt? Bankruptcy lawyers seem to cringe/avoid this because student loans are currently exempt from bankruptcy.

Is there any in the US that take this stuff serious and can help broke former students?

I mean there has to be some attorneys that now have experience in these matters since the economy is now becoming flooded with unemployed new attorneys.

My brother received a DUI 2 weeks ago in Orange County, CA. he doesn’t have any money and I am not going to loan it to him, but I would like to be able to give him any information that I can regarding attorneys in his area. Thank you.

I was told by 3 attorneys that I should file a Malpractice against an attorney, but none would handle it. I tried Attorney Referrals, and Prepaid Legal Services, but their closest one is over 300 miles away. Apparently he has no malpractice insurance, and has put all his assets in his spouse’s name, so there is no money in it for them.
Does anyone know where I can get information to help me handle my own case. I’m willing to pay.
I would appreciate any advice.

My case involved a personal injury claim. During this period I also filed for bankruptcy, and my lawyer proceeded with the case. Now it looks like after paying him off, and the creditors, and bankruptcy people (trustee/his attorneys) – I’m not even getting 1/3 of the initial settlement!!! Is this fair? What can I do?

Well here’s the deal, not that long ago I got DWI and got arrested. Now I’m dealing with the whole deal, from attorneys to courts etc. I’m not a huge drinker what so ever, and it just happens to be that the day I decide to make a mistake in my life was the day that I got caught. The problem is, this is my first and only arrest, and I don’t know anything and I’m scared. Day in and day out I continuously worry, I’m scared that I won’t be able to pull through, and now my finances are about to get tough. Not only that but I feel as if my life will never be the same. I heard about a lawyer, and not having any clue about of this I contacted the first one on my list. Even after all the charges, I have no idea if he’ll be able to do anything for me, or if I’m going to be throwing away my money out the window. Does anyone know exactly what goes on in these kinds of charges? I feel like I’ve lost everything I have, like if my college education isn’t going to take me anywhere anymore and like I just threw my whole life away. I can’t find the effort to do school work anymore, I don’t feel myself on the job, and I feel like a big part of me is gone. I just live in fear now. My question is, does anyone know what I should expect? Is my life really going to be at it’s lowest point forever now? I just need some clarification and in a way, some advice. i would appreciate honest answers, because this is something that I not only regret, but something that I feel will haunt me for the rest of my life.

Basically my question is this:
Is it Legal in the state of Texas for an attorney to delay filing my divorce if I have not paid the attorneys fees in full?
Divorce papers have been signed by both parties as of the 7th of October.

I am looking for a good international adoption attorney in Peru to help me work with MIMDES (I don’t want to go through any of the agencies currently working in Peru). Where can I find any recommendation or feedback boards other than embassy list of attorneys?

I see advertisements for attorneys who specialize in getting people off DUI arrests. I’m pretty sure most police are not randomly giving out DUIs, there’s usually a good reason to get these drunk drivers off the road…but if they end up getting off because of a technicality even though they did drink and drive, how is this good for us?

I’ve interviewed many attorneys over the phone and three in person, who do I hire. Pleas tell me who you or a friend has used and what their result was. All the attorneys claim to be the best, who IS the best?

This is the first time i decide to hire an attorney to handle my case. I wanna know if there are websites for local attorneys rating? or some other sources can help find a good attorney. Or any tips to deal with attorneys??

Thanks
Btw, it is not exactly a "wrongful termination" i was forced to worked clock off, given no lunch break during long hours. I reported it to district manager, later i was terminated.
they just thought i am troubled,and afraid about i would tell other employees to do the same thing.

I am working on a property that is in foreclosure in WA state. It is 2 months into the process, ,500 in back payments and taxes and a few thousand in attorney fees for the mortgage holder’s attorneys. Is there a ballpark estimate of how much attorney fees will be once the 135 days is up and it goes to sale, and is there any formula for calculating the rate of their charges?

My sister received a DUI 2 weeks ago in Spartanburg, SC. She doesn’t have any money and I am not going to loan it to her, but I would like to be able to give her any information that I can regarding attorneys in her area. Thank you.

Having an argument with a friend over this topic. If you look in the phone book,there are tons of attorneys with full page ads that specifically say….Not certified by the Texas Bar of Legal…..which means they may or may not have a degree, but for sure arent board certified. I have found on the net that there are 7 states that dont require a law degree. Is texas one of them?
