DUI attorney cost in San Francisco
What is a general range of cost for a DUI lawyer to handle both the DMV and criminal case (assuming it never reaches trial) in San Francisco? I am curious to know what a general range is to think about (not the lowest cost and not the most expensive).

To handle both DMV and the case, without including a trial in court (since only 1 out of 20 clients would need a trial), the general range to my knowledge is $3000 to $5000. Again, as you stated, there are cheaper and certainly more expensive, but this is the general range. If you seek out a DUI specialist however, expect to pay a premium.

Your question is difficult to answer. Generally, you should meet with several attorneys and get quotes from each. The most expensive quote may notbe the best attorney. All DUI cases are different. For instance, what are your goals? Dismissal? Save your job? Be sure the Attorney you meet with isthe Attorney you are hiring, not the Firm. You may get an associate with only a few years experience.
You may drive wherever you want on the temporary given to you. I practice in San Francisco.

Contact as many lawyers as you can to find out: www.dui-help.com. Most offer free quotes.
I don't practice in SF, however, I think I can point you in the right direction. Attorney's fees will range all over the spectrum with the level of expertise in the area of practive. I think you should try to consult with several attorneys, and more specifically, attorneys who are at least members of the California DUI Lawyers Assoc. Generally, these lawyers are dedicated to this particular practice area. Go to http://www.california-dui-lawyers.org and search in your area. Good luck.
