READER QUESTION:

Does an AV rated Nevada DUI attorney cost more?

THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION, ALLISON.

Well, an AV rated Nevada DUI attorney does typically cost more, but you have to think about this in terms of value and not just in sheer cost. Since these lawyers have been rated by their colleagues to be some of the best practictioners in their fields, that adds a new quality that you should take in mind when considering a lawyer based on price.

While in some cases you may be able to get a less qualified lawyer, when you have a complicated DUI case you should really consider hiring an AV rated Nevada DUI attorney. Yes, they cost more, but there are ways to work around this for many people. You can pay a certain amount every month, and you can also negotiate fees.

When deciding on hiring a lawyer, you should have all of the fees assessed before hand and make sure to ask questions when something seems to be missing. Get a fee agreement in writing, and also be sure that you know about hidden costs like filing fees. You should budget these along with the costs for tickets, higher insurance, and so on.
