By Jeff Kennedy

If you have landed on this page, it’s because you or a loved one are facing a DWI charge. How much will a DWI lawyer cost will be based on many factors, including if your DWI is a misdemeanor or felony, how much experience the attorney has, and whether they intend to defend you or merely represent you through the court proceedings. 

How Much Do DWI Lawyers Charge

The first factor in “how much” will be your case specifics. Is this your first DWI or third? Were you involved in a hit-and-run or intoxication assault? Next, and the most important factor in pricing will be based upon how much experience your attorney has, their track record, and whether or not they will strategize to help you avoid a conviction or just walk you through the court process.

Generally, some of the best DWI lawyers in Fort Worth will charge anywhere between:
  • First DWI – $3,000 to $10,000
  • Second DWI – $5,000 to $10,000
  • Third DWI – $10,000 and up
If you have been charged with intoxication assault, or this is your third DWI, that fee will rise. If your case goes to trial, the cost will also go up due to the amount of work involved with a trial. Some of those additional costs can include expert witness testimony, testing and more hours that need to be put in for preparation.
The best way to find out how a DWI attorney will cost you is to pick up the phone and ask Jeff C. Kennedy yourself.

What Type Of An Attorney Do You Want?

It all boils down to what type of attorney you want to hire. Do you want an attorney that will fight, dig through evidence, aggressively negotiate, and look for holes int he prosecutors case against you? Or do you want an attorney to walk you through the motions, and not worry about digging through arrest records, evidence, and or negotiate with the prosecutor?

If you choose the first type of attorney, you will have to pay for their man-hours, their experience, skill and the time they will have to put into your case. The second type of attorney will obviously be cheaper, but for obvious reasons.

Do You Want To Fight Back?

You probably see the difference already. An attorney like Jeff C. Kennedy is here to help you avoid a conviction, dig through evidence, negotiate with prosecutors and fight every step of the way. His goal is to achieve a case win, which is a not guilty charge, a case dismissal, reduction of charges, or anything else that helps his client avoid the consequences of a tarnished criminal record.

  • Is this your first DWI or have you had multiple? Misdemeanor or felony charge?
  • How many charges are you facing
  • What types of charges are you facing
  • How much experience does the attorney have
  • Are they experienced in DWI or multiple areas of practice
  • Will your attorney build a defense to help you avoid a conviction
  • What does the client want
  • If you hire a lawyer fresh out of law school, they may be cheaper.
  • Is your attorney on a retainer (will charge more if your case lasts longer) or a set fee (usually an attorney that does not want to put up a fight).
As you have noticed by now, its very hard to give numbers without knowing the details of your case, which lawyer you are going with, and how long your case will last.

Jeff Kennedy truly cares. He and his staff kept me informed all the way throughout my case and provided me with all my options and the potential outcomes for my case. When the day finally arrived to resolve my case, Jeff was able to negotiate a reduction to a lesser charge. He was well prepared and coordinated everything perfectly. Jeff is not only a good lawyer, but a good man.

N.C.L.

I hired Mr. Jeff Kennedy to handle a DWI charge. From day one, I knew I had picked the right attorney. Jeff always took the time to answer any of my questions, treated me very professionally, and truly cared about my case. I have never been in any kind of trouble before and I was very nervous about the thought of going to trial. Jeff thoroughly explained the entire process to me and made me feel at ease. Jeff took my case to trial and the jury found me NOT GUILTY!

P.T.S.

Jeff Kennedy is a professional, intelligent, easy-to-talk-to lawyer with an excellent understanding of how the system works. Jeff was able to get my twice the legal limit BAC thrown out and he kept me from having an interlock device put on my car. This has been my only big mistake in life so far (hopefully the last) and I am glad he was there to walk me through it. You will not regret hiring him.
