Selecting an attorney may seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. There are several key things a person should look for in order to ensure that one’s attorney is a good fit. These include:
Experience with the kind of charges. Many attorneys specialize in different offenses, such as violent crimes, domestic violence, theft-related charges, etc. Ask what the lawyer has defended before and if the charges in question are something he/she is familiar with.
Pricing structure. While it may be tempting to look for a low-cost attorney, it is better to seek an attorney with a reasonable pricing structure that allows for low monthly payments. This ensures one can get quality legal counsel without going broke.
Handling of the case. It is important to know who and how many people will be working a case. More is not always merrier when it comes to criminal defense; a smaller law firm may be able to devote more personal attention to your case than a larger one.
