3 Things to Consider When Choosing a Criminal Defense Attorney
Getting arrested and charged with a crime is a stressful experience. There’s a lot of uncertainty involved. Your future, and your livelihood is at stake. Therefore, it’s important to have the right legal team standing in your corner to guide you through every step of the way.
Here are three things to consider when choosing a criminal defense attorney:
Are they available and responsive?
The most important thing to look for is an attorney that’s available when you need them, and responds in a timely manner.
A big advantage to working with a private attorney rather than a public defender is availability and quicker response times. Public defenders often have large case loads, and therefore don’t have the same amount of time and energy to devote to you.
This is a crucial time in your life, which is why you want to work with someone who will put you first. One of the best indicators of this is how quickly they respond to your inquiries, and how available they are when you need them.
Our expert team is available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have. We take pride in making sure that each of our clients can reach their attorney whenever they need.
How much relevant experience do they have?
Aside from having years of experience, it’s important to find an attorney who specializes in the same area of criminal law as the charges that you’re facing.
Each case presents unique challenges, so it’s important to have someone who understands how to handle each and every situation, and has experience working in your local jurisdiction.

Do they get results?

Your future depends on having the right team at your side that will devote the time, effort, and resources to build the strongest defense on your behalf.
