I'm offended. I got the below email solicitation today. It basically says you can make a bunch of money on DWI cases because people are scared and all you have to do is take their money and plea bargain the case. That there is NO DEFENSE to DWI. Fact is there are LOTS of defenses to DWI when a person handles the situation correctly. For more information see my site at www.DefendDWI.com.
What follows is the email. It is an example of all that is wrong in the practice of DWI defense. It makes it hard for lawyers like me to practice because we offer a real defense to DWI and so are "expensive" compared to the "fee and plea" lawyers attracted to the service detailed below. Let the buyer beware.
DUI Defense is the most lucrative area of criminal practice: Here is why
Fact 1: Most dui cases are settled before going to trial because there is really no defense. DUI is really like a strict liability crime. Once you do it, you are guilty. Many dui defense attorneys file frivolous motions and in the process run up even higher fees for the client. Cases rarely go to trial and when they do, the DAs almost always win. So the most successful DUI Defense attorneys simply plea bargain and collect their fee from the client. This makes DUI Defense practice one of the most lucrative areas of the law.
Fact 2: Most DUI defendants are average people who otherwise have never committed a crime. The last thing they want on their record is a DUI. They are willing to pay as much as you ask for hoping they can beat the wrap. This is another reason why DUI Defense is absolutely the most lucrative area of criminal defense.Fact 3: DUI Defendants look for a dui lawyer on the web because it is discrete. For reason stated above, the cost per click for online advertising has outpaced any other industry. A single click in some major markets can cost as much as $100.
Fact 4: We, www.dui1.com, are the Number 1 result when you search Google for the terms dui lawyer, dui lawyers, dui attorney, and dui attorneys. We dominate the web. We are Number 1 under the natural results, meaning we don’t pay to be up there. For this reason, advertising on dui1.com is the least expensive advertising avenue on the web.
Conclusion: If you do any type of criminal defense, throw your hat in and sign up at dui1.com. The fees are very low. When you get your first client, you will make more than several times of your investment.
