What should I look for in a criminal lawyer?
A good criminal lawyer should not only be savvy about the law but have excellent written and oral communication skills. You want someone who is a good researcher and who has superior investigative skills, especially in the area of law that you are needing a lawyer for. You want someone who is also good at connecting the dots and can analyze situations well, especially as it pertains to the law. Finally, and possibly most importantly, a good criminal lawyer must have integrity. You need to be able to trust them to do the right thing and to pursue justice.
Make sure you meet with your potential lawyer in person before moving forward with a case. You need to be able to build a rapport with your lawyer and trust your instincts about whether or not they are a good fit for your needs.
Whenever you need a lawyer, make sure their expertise is in the area of law that you need. Research their reputation and experience in handling similar cases to yours.
