Choosing a Criminal Defense Attorney

Answer:

If you’re looking at hiring a criminal defense attorney, what you need to do is talk to some friends and family to see if they know of any criminal defense attorneys that they would recommend. Also, go online and look at some people that you think you may fit with; go in and meet with them. You need to make sure that they have an office, that they have a staff, and that they’re equipped to handle your case. You need to make sure that you connect with that person because, very often, criminal cases can drag on for an extended period of time. If you don’t feel, after meeting with a person, that you connect with them, it’s going to be tough to work with them. You need to feel comfortable enough to share secrets and facts with your criminal defense attorney. It’s really important to meet with the person in their office to check out the situation. Believe it or not, there are some criminal defense attorneys that don’t even have an office. They work out of their car or their home, they don’t have a staff or a high-speed copier, and so it makes it really difficult for them to spend the time required on your case.
