You can hire a DWI/DUI lawyer online through a law firm’s website or a lawyer-referral service. If you're in California, the charge is generally called a DUI (driving under the influence), and I'd start with a lawyer who regularly handles DUI cases in the county where you were arrested.
Best places to find and hire a DUI lawyer online
1. State Bar of California
The safest starting point for finding a licensed attorney. Search certified referral services by county and legal issue, then verify the lawyer's license and disciplinary history.
Best for: checking credentials and getting referrals.
2. The Criminal And DUI Guys
A criminal defense law firm in Rancho Cucamonga that handles DUI cases and serves Inland Empire communities.
Best for: discussing a local DUI case.
951-381-8013
Rancho Cucamonga, California
3. Shouse Law Group
A criminal defense firm with an Ontario office that handles DUI charges and related driver's-license issues.
Best for: comparing another local law firm.
909-483-2814
Ontario, California
4. Law Offices of Graham D. Donath
A Riverside criminal defense practice whose attorney is listed as a California State Bar Certified Specialist in Criminal Law.
Best for: considering a criminal-law specialist.
951-667-5293
Riverside, California
These are starting points to contact and compare, not endorsements. Confirm online consultation options, fees, and availability directly with each firm.
How to hire one online
- Request a free or low-cost initial consultation, if offered.
- Ask whether the lawyer handles both the court case and any DMV driver's-license proceedings.
- Get a written fee agreement explaining what is included and any additional costs.
- Verify the attorney's status using the official California Attorney Search.
The State Bar recommends comparing at least two attorneys and being cautious of anyone who guarantees a particular outcome.
One question so I can narrow this down: Was your arrest in California, and are you looking for a lawyer you can hire entirely online, including a phone or video consultation and electronic payment?

trusted legal directories and matching platformswhere you can review credentials, client feedback, and disciplinary histories.

- Avvo Directory : Search for local DUI/DWI specialists on the Avvo DUI/DWI Lawyer Directory . It provides numerical ratings, client reviews, disciplinary history, and answers the attorney has provided to public legal questions.
- Super Lawyers : Use the Super Lawyers DUI-DWI Attorney Directory to find peer-rated, top-recognized defense attorneys who specialize specifically in field sobriety testing, breathalyzers, and police procedure analysis.

- LegalMatch : A case-matching platform where you submit the details of your arrest online, and local DWI lawyers who are interested in your case review the details and reach out to offer consultations.
