I had maybe 4 calls total with my lawyer. The first was to provide the info to get him to take on my case and get my payment information. The second was him calling to tell me he won my administrative implied consent hearing (I refused the breathlyzer test) and that I could go get my temporary license. The third was just an update telling me when my court date would be and that I should go to a MADD impact panel meeting to make it look better to the prosecutor. And the fourth and final call was him calling to inform me the charge was reduced to reckless driving. That was it, at first I was concerned too but it worked out great even though we barely spoke, I never met him in person and I didn't have to step foot in court.
