Hey, I am the CEO of
http://CaseGuide.org which uses court data to find the previous outcomes of cases and best attorneys. We don't accept any money from attorneys, only show their factual performance on cases. Unfortunately we only operate in Florida, USA for now but here some advice for finding a criminal traffic lawyer based on looking at hundreds of attorney records.
As far as I know there is not another service like ours who will show you actual outcomes on how attorneys perform. I'm also not aware of an attorney service per se but most attorneys use email and most work long hours. Many accept credit cards.
If I was going to find an attorney where I don't know anyone I would look at it in this order:
1)Start with superlawyers and get all the names for the following searches: Driving Under The Influence (DUI) in CityName.
2) Look up each of those attorneys on AVVO and pick one based on reviews or whatever you want. Avvo rating is stupid.
Generally, the top rated DUI people will also do other criminal traffic stuff.
The problem with this is Avvo and Superlawyers are both funded by attorneys. In our main area, for example, the best 3 DUI attorneys by case outcomes show up like this on SuperLawyers: #1 isnt on the list at all, #2 is about halfway down the list of 27 people, has no prominence on the site despite the fact that DUI case law in that state was basically all this one guy, and #3 is below #2 toward the bottom.
#2 doesn't have an Avvo rating at all.
That said, many of the attorneys on there are still "pretty good" and that's likely all you need, even if you can't get the best ones.
