Tips for Choosing a Criminal Defense Attorney

2/27/2019

 
Meeting with attorney in a legal conference room
In a situation where you or a loved one has been charged with a crime, finding the best criminal defense attorney should be an immediate concern. A good lawyer can either make or break your chance of proving your innocence in the crime you've been accused with. What are the things to look for in a criminal defense attorney? We have listed some tips to help you get the best legal team to handle your case.
 
Specialty in Criminal Law
You should be aware that different types of law deal with corporate, civil law, bankruptcy law, and others. You want to look for a lawyer who specializes in criminal law because he will be familiar with the different areas and practices related to your case. If you can search for a lawyer who has handled the same situation as yours, that would work better for you. The more extensive the experience of the attorney is, the higher the chance of you being acquitted.

Testimonials
You may have friends or family member who can recommend a trustworthy lawyer to help you with your case. You can also read online reviews that give honest opinions on how a lawyer handled their case. You may still see one or two negative comments about the lawyer but always consider the idea of the general public when deciding.
 
Use Free Consultation
Criminal defense attorneys typically offer free consultations. Take advantage of this deal to gauge the ability of the attorney and how you get along with each other. Ask as many questions as you want. Ask them about their experiences, as well as their specialty. You should watch out for lawyers that sound too-good-to-be-true and seem boastful. A good lawyer will not promise you that you will win your case, but she will make suggestions on how you should go about the case.

Know the Team
It is essential that you know who will represent you in court. For larger law firms, their top attorneys may be handling other cases and will leave you with the inexperienced ones. Assistants and interns can do research and other tasks regarding your situation, but you should know who will be standing before the court on your defense.

Fees
More experienced attorneys may charge more while new ones will have lower rates. You should be careful when choosing a lawyer who charges too low than expected because you don't want to compromise on the skill to save money. Always go for fairly-priced services because they are typically reliable ones.
 
Go with Your Intuition
When deciding as to who you should hire as a lawyer, it is best to trust your intuition because it will usually lead you to the lawyer who best fits your requirements. Go with an attorney you trust the most, and the one you feel meets all your expectations. Consider their strengths and experiences to help you decide if he is the right attorney to help you defend yourself before the court.
