San Bernardino has several Courts which handle DUI cases. If you were arrested in San Bernardino your case, most likely, will be heard near the area of your arrest.

When you are choosing a San Bernardino DUI lawyer or attorney there are many considerations to guide your decision on which attorney or lawyer to hire. Every case and every person are unique and you need to carefully evaluate your situation when hiring a lawyer. Because of your employment, your future goals, or because of prior DUIs you may need to choose one of the "top guns" since the risks to your life and your freedom are great. If money is a consideration, or if the risk to your freedom is not significant you may not have to spend a lot, or drive a longer distance to find a Riverside DUI lawyer or attorney who can adequately serve your needs.

San Bernardino is a large county and you should probably consider hiring a lawyer in your area, especially if you live out in Victorville, Barstow, or Needles. Having a lawyer or attorney come from the Los Angeles basin might be expensive and they might not be as familiar with the Courts and the prosecutors. If you live in San Bernardino or the surrounding area you might choose a lawyer from your area, from eastern Los Angeles County, Riverside, or Orange County.

Choosing a lawyer in your area can be a real good idea. If you are charged in Barstow, for instance, having a Barstow lawyer who is real familiar with the Court in Barstow can work to your advantage. If you find a high quality criminal defense/dui attorney, that attorney will know the judges and the policies and can use that knowledge to your advantage. This is especially true if you are looking for a good plea bargain. Someone who knows and is respected by the local prosecutors might be able to get you a better deal than a lawyer from outside the area.

That, however, is not always true. If you have a serious case, one of the more well known ide top guns may be your best choice. If they are well respected enough, they will be known by the Courts, and the local prosecutors and that stature will help them get you a good result. If you must go to trial and the stakes are high(employment, future, incarceration) one of the "top" DUI lawyers & attorneys in any of the surrounding counties is your best bet. They are highly trained in trial and know all of the buttons to push to get a favorable jury verdict.

Regardless you should interview the lawyer and ask to hear about their education, their credentials, their experience, and their top results in situations like yours. Also you want to hear what their plan of attack is on your case. Based on their experience they should be able to interview you and give you some idea of how your case should be handled.
