The most important thing to take with you to your consultation with your potential Newark NJ DUI lawyer is a strategy. If you don’t have a plan for what you want to happen in that half hour or so you’re in there, then you won’t get the information you need to make the most intelligent decision, likely. The following areas are things you should hit on in your conversation.

Experience.

Your chances of getting your case to succeed depends a good deal on the experience of your Newark NJ DUI lawyer. How long have they been working on DUI cases? To what extent do they handle DUI cases? How often are they successful? Have they ever prosecuted rather than defended a DUI cases (this is good because they know how the other side works more thoroughly)?

Compatibility

You need to choose the lawyer who you are able to work with best. Someone who will talk to you intelligently but also explain difficult concepts, who welcomes information, and who wants to work with you.
