Word of mouth is commonly a good indicator of choosing which lawyer you would hire to defend you against your DUI case in Reno, Nevada, although not perfect. Reputation in the community would be generally earned and unpaid tributes to a lawyer’s prowess are invaluable. You have to make sure that you look for someone who actively defends DUI cases in particular. It is very important that the lawyer you would hire only focuses and devotes his time in defending DUI cases.

If you are consulting with a lawyer, you have to ask if he could discuss his knowledge of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and how the breath testing machine works (or doesn’t). You also might want to ask if the lawyer owns various police DUI training manuals for reference and use in cross-examination as well. You could ask the lawyer if he knows what administrative license revocation (ALR) is, how it works and if the lawyer has experience with ALR. Believe it or not, may lawyers advise their clients that they should not bother with the ALR process and you have to be wary of that kind of lawyer.
