Resources for Finding DUI Lawyers
Here are some other ways to find a DUI lawyer:
Ask around. Without a doubt, the best way to find a good lawyer is to ask friends, family, work associates -- anyone you know and trust. Even if they don’t personally know a DUI lawyer, they may know another lawyer they like. And that lawyer may be able to direct you to a good DUI attorney.
Ask your local bar association. The Pennsylvania Bar Association maintains a lawyer directory. This directory can provide you with names of lawyers in your area who are in good standing with the bar association. Do keep in mind, however, that the bar association doesn’t screen the lawyers for the amount of experience they have or for their competence. It’s up to you to interview each attorney to find out whether they have the experience you need.
Online lawyer directories. Here are a few websites that offer directories of attorneys serving Westport, PA. Because different attorneys list with different directories, we offer you a choice so you can consider a selection of Westport, PA DUI lawyers. Like bar association directories, these lawyers have probably not been screened for their qualifications or competence.
