Posted on Behalf of Attorney Ross Goodman for Criminal Defense

Hiring a Criminal Defense Lawyer that you can depend on is not an easy task as hiring the wrong one will result in you losing your case or worse, jail time.

Here are tips on selecting a criminal defense lawyer:

1. Ask questions

Asking questions like; “how many cases similar to mine have you won?” or “how many cases have you engaged in?” is very helpful, especially if you want to hire a lawyer that has experience in a case that’s the same as yours.

2. Observe how busy the lawyer is

Never hire a lawyer that’s too busy. Get to know them and how they manage their time.

3. Find out if the lawyer is a member of a legal organization

In your case you will need a lawyer who knows what they are doing.

4. Get a lawyer who cares

A lawyer who cares will fight and do whatever it takes to win your case with all they can.

Always be sure that before you hire anyone to defend you, that you have thoroughly researched about your case and the lawyer you are going to hire. When you hire always tell your lawyers the facts about the case and always be suspicious of lawyers who guarantees anything before reading/reviewing your case.
