NO. There are several reasons this is not a good idea. You will risk ruining the relationship by hiring someone you know. It will put you and your attorney is a bad position. Why? Because it might be hard to share certain facts about your situation AND lawyers have to tell clients things they do not want to hear. It leaves you both in a lose-lose situation. Also, it can make for a very uncomfortable if you are dissatisfied with something your attorney/friend/relative does and cannot directly tell him or her due to your more than business relationship with them. What happens to the relationship if you lose your case? Can I ask the attorney to reduce the price?
YES. Many attorneys (yes even very good attorneys) will negotiate the fee. If a criminal defense attorney charges an hourly fee for services, ask her/him to bill you on a flat-fee instead. Try not to choose a lawyer based only on cheap or affordable rates. It will be worth every penny if an attorney has the skills and experience that can resolve your criminal or DWI legal matter in your favor. Should I avoid a New York criminal defense attorney that advertises?
NO. Many very good lawyers will advertise to market their legal expertise while some less experienced and unskilled lawyers do not. In many cases, you can find a criminal lawyer or law firm that will provide quality services at a lower rate than usual if they advertise.
