What $499 per month means at DUI499
Participating firms can offer DUI defense payment arrangements with $499 monthly installments, subject to attorney review and approval. A higher initial payment is required and varies by case. The firm sets the total legal fee, payment schedule and scope of representation. The initial payment is not $499.
Ask for the full picture in writing
Before hiring, ask the firm to show you the full arrangement in the agreement. Compare what is covered as well as the amount due each month.
- The initial payment and when it is due.
- The total legal fee and number of monthly payments.
- Whether any final payment differs from the regular installment.
- Whether DMV proceedings, trial or other work are included.
- What happens if the scope of work changes.
Separate legal fees from other costs
Ask which expenses you would pay separately. Depending on what applies to your case, the conversation may include court costs, third-party services or other expenses. Do not assume the monthly attorney payment covers every cost associated with a DUI.
Choose a schedule you understand
Think about both the initial payment and the monthly commitment. Ask about due dates, accepted payment methods and the agreement’s terms if a payment is late. If something is unclear, get an explanation before signing.
Start with your situation
You do not need to share payment-card information in our form. Tell DUI499 the county and general type of DUI, and ask about payment options. A participating firm will evaluate your case and explain its proposed fees before you decide whether to hire it.
