Thank you for asking Joshua.
In California, the cost of an lawyer will differ much between the amount of experience, the reputation, and the location of their practice. It is usually true that the bigger the city and the more experience the lawyer has, the higher the costs of the lawyer. A detail that may also affect the fees is the amount of time a lawyer commits to each case. A more qualified attorney will also accept fewer clients, and in turn give more attention to each case individually.
In Los Angeles California, fees can range from $500 to $15,000 or more, all depends on the details of the lawyer and the case. A general practitioner who is located in a smaller and less populated community in California might charge between $500 and $1000. Generally, an experienced DUI lawyer with a good reputation will charge $5000 to $8000 if this is your first DUI offense. This fine does include the DMV license hearing as well.
A lawyer could request a retained in advance or just charge a fixed fee, which includes all expenses. Either way, you can and should ask for a written agreement of all the fees. Make sure that you follow all of the terms the lawyer request of you before you make any decisions.
Goodluck!
