How Much Does It Cost? Our representation of DWI cases begins at $4,000.00 plus tax, which also includes representation at your MVD hearing. The cost of representation increases based upon the number of priors, whether the case is aggravated, whether additional crimes are charged, and the specific facts of the case. Each fee is determined on a case by case basis. Payment plans are available in most cases. If a payment plan is requested, the client will be required to pay at least 50% of the total fee up front, and will be given a payment plan that ensures full payment prior to trial. We accept all major credit cards. When hiring a DWI lawyer, you should be confident in that attorney's approach to defending your case, and ensure that he or she is qualified to handle your defense. DWI is easily the most complex and difficult misdemeanor case to defend in New Mexico, and the stakes have been raised considerably in the last few years. Attorneys quoting unusually low fees for representation may not be qualified to handle your case and may be quoting a fee with the intention of quickly resolving your case through a plea, which may have devastating effects on your license status and professional career. |
