You would know if a lawyer could represent your cousin well on his DUI case in Los Angeles if the lawyer specializes in defending DUI cases only. Keep in mind that being charged with DUI should be taken seriously and you have to give special attention to the DUI laws. If your cousin gets a lawyer who does not specialize in handling DUI cases, he may not be represented well. Make sure that the lawyer is an expert when it comes to defending DUI cases or a huge percentage of the cases he or she has handled are in connection to DUI. Perhaps, this is the only means for you to determine that you are working with a DUI expert.

Your cousin may also want to find out the ranking of the DUI attorney he would hire against other attorneys. Aside from that, he also has to do a background check on the DUI attorney. Try to find out if he or she comes from a respectable law school. Your cousin has to work with a lawyer who knows technical expert witnesses to aid him on his defense. These witnesses could aid in investigating if you have undergone the appropriate police procedures, in accordance to DUI laws and if the chemical test/s were properly administered. Little technicalities like this could be a basis for your cousin to be found guilty or not.

Your cousin will be advised by his DUI attorney about plea bargaining on his DUI case in Los Angeles, California. Usually, plea bargains are at the request of the court not the DUI defendant. The government might feel they have a weak case against your cousin or they may wish to settle in order to clear their calendar. The defense lawyers and prosecution may consider a plea bargain to keep the charges out of the control of jury or a judge.

Generally, a plea bargain depends on the court and the jurisdiction. The state of California allows plea bargains during certain phases of the criminal process. Your cousin’s DUI attorney would be able to advise him on the specifics of his DUI case. He has to speak with his attorney first before deciding whether or not to plea bargain. The DUI attorney would be able to help him make an informed decision.
