What this calculator estimates
Estimate a DUI-defense legal budget from attorney time, flat fees, court costs, experts and other case expenses. It is designed for fast planning and comparison in the United States. The output is an estimate, not a binding quote, approval, tax determination, insurance offer, legal conclusion, medical recommendation or professional advice.
How to use it
Enter the requested values using a single consistent time period and currency. Select Calculate, review the headline result and supporting figures, then change one assumption at a time to compare another scenario.
How the calculation works
The calculator multiplies expected attorney hours by the entered hourly rate, compares that amount with any flat or minimum fee, and then adds filing, expert and other costs.
Important limitations
Legal fees vary widely by state, attorney, complexity, urgency, hearings, negotiations, appeals and outcome. This is a budgeting estimate, not a fee quote or legal advice.
