If I'm arrested for a DUI in a certain county, should I get an attorney located within that county?
Or if I hire an attorney in my area will he/she charge more for whatever travel time they may have to do... I'm afraid the local attorneys will be in cahoots with the local judge and law enforcement. ...

The local attorney will usually know how the prosecution and the courts handle situations just like yours. If the attorney has been practicing some time, they have had similar situations come up, and their expertise in how those are handled by the courts where your case is in is valuable. Often, when even a high profile lawyer from another jurisdiction comes in on the case, there is still an advantage of having someone that knows the courts procedures well, that outweighs the expertise of the out of town lawyer, with some exceptions.
And, as you mentioned, you will definitely be paying more for the out of town attorney, as that attorney will not only invest more time in things like travel/driving, but will also not have economy of scale of having other cases to handle in that court.
All the best to you.
def in their country. Lawyers arnt even licensed to practice in other states, let alone nations
u can hire an attorney anywhere. they would only charge more for location if they were money hungry. youre just paying for dropping or expunging the charge. It would not matter where the problem is, as long as its within the next county or 2.
yeah in the same countie cause they probably know more about the counties law
by the way…..DUI is wrong you couldve hurt somebody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
