  • Call around: There are no governing entities in Scottsdale, AZ that dictate what a criminal defense attorney can charge for their services. So you may get quotes with a major gap between high and low. Remember that lower fees do not necessarily mean the attorney is less effective to defend your case. While at the same time, higher costs may not mean they are any more qualified either. There are many factors that attorneys consider for pricing including supply and demand; overhead and operating costs; competition and geographical areas.
  • Request a discount: Many criminal attorneys who defend Scottsdale criminal charges, will extend a discount if you ask for it, and if they feel you are serious about hiring them.
  • Negotiate:  A good number of attorneys will agree to an offer from the client to pay a higher amount up front, example a reasonable and fair amount of $80% to 90% of the total quote. This, in exchange for a 10% to – 20% reduction of the total cost.

  1. Licensed Arizona Criminal Defense Lawyer – Make sure they are licensed in Arizona for criminal defense, and defend Mesa Arizona DUI & criminal charges frequently. You can contact the Maricopa County Bar, or the Arizona State Bar for more information. Using a general attorney or a lawyer who practices in multiple areas of law is not recommended for DUI and criminal charges. Arizona DUI and criminal law and legislation are complex; strict, and constantly changing, you will need to hire someone who does it day in and day out.
  2. Attorney Ratings & Reviews – You can find just about anything you want to know about an attorney before hiring them. Valuable resources include attorney rating and reviews on the internet; including search engine; attorney rating and review websites; and ratings or reviews posted on attorney profiles throughout the web; and the various social networks. Reviews are important, but should be just one of many factors. There is one thing to keep in mind about attorney reviews: Understandably if someone has been represented for DUI or criminal charges, they may not be enthusiastic about posting a review. Many review and rating sites require the reviewer to create a profile that can be tracked back to them. They may not want an employer or others to know they had been charged with DUI or other crime. So you will find fewer reviews on Attorney services in contrast to say a restaurant or coffee shop.
