The fee agreement is something you will be given by your Washington DC DWI attorney at your first consulting with them, and it deserves some further explanation. Following, I will give you the details about this important document, which you should be given in printed form. Remember that every agreement you come to should be given in writing as well, or you can’t rely on it.

The agreement will explain what your Washington DC DWI attorney can do for you, and what the cost will be for that. It will include many pieces of information, from a list of duties, to the total price, and the smaller charges which make it up, as well as a part on what you are responsible for on your end of the case. Don’t forget to ask questions about details.

• How much will it cost for me to hire you, and how will you charge that cost?
• Are there different payment plans? Can you describe them? Which do you suggest?
• Do I need to put down a down payment?
• Will these charges change?
• Can I save money on this?
