What to Look for When Hiring a Violent Crimes Lawyer

Accepting court-appointed defense counsel may save you money, but it will not do much to give you peace of mind. You need a private Glendale violent crimes lawyer with the time, energy and resources to dedicate solely to defending your case. Choose the right lawyer for you with a few tips and guidelines.

• Experience with your type of charge. The defense attorney you hire should have practice area experience with the type of charge you are facing. Check the lawyer’s website or ask during a consultation if the lawyer has taken criminal cases like yours, and if so, what the outcomes have been. Although this will not guarantee future results, it can prove the lawyer’s ability to litigate your type of criminal case.
• Local office. The attorney you choose should be local. Local experience means the lawyer may know the judge and/or prosecutor – something that could help your case. Retaining a local lawyer also means he or she will have a thorough understanding of state and municipal laws, as well as how to defend someone against them. It will be easier to meet with a local attorney about your case, as well.
• Comfort and trust. Finally, your defense lawyer should have the personal factor. Your lawyer will become your voice, speaking for you during potentially life-changing hearings. You should be personally comfortable with the attorney you select. Your lawyer should be someone you feel you can openly talk to, work with, communicate with, understand and trust to have your best interests at heart.
