What to Look for in a Criminal Defense Attorney
You have the right to choose the criminal defense attorney you hire to represent you. However, not all lawyers are equally equipped to handle criminal defense cases. Here are some of the characteristics you can look for:
- Experience in a wide range of criminal defense cases, including the particular type of case you are involved in
- Honesty and straightforward advice as no ethical lawyer will try to guarantee results or say they know for certain how your case will turn out
- Knowledge of how prosecutors construct their cases and how to identify vulnerabilities in the opposition’s case
- Clear information about how they plan to approach your case and how they can protect your rights
- The willingness to discuss their track record and how many cases like yours they have won
