  If an attorny is does not have a rating on ******dale.com does this mean anything?
  
  does this mean anything bad, or is it common for an attorney to not have a rating? How else can I find out about their record? Also if the attorney is out of a city that consists of mainly low income residents does this say anything about him?

  Difference between DUI attorney prices
  
  what is the difference between a DUI defense attorney asking $1500 vs. one who asks $2500?
