Selecting the right attorney to defend you in a criminal case is of paramount importance. Among the most important elements to look for in a lawyer is experience in your type of case. Attorneys specialize in certain areas of the law, and finding one that has worked extensively on cases similar to yours will make it easier for him or her to understand the particulars.
Another key aspect is to look at the lawyer’s reputation. Attorneys place a lot of emphasis on good references, and a capable attorney will have a reputation to match. You can ask other lawyers that you trust to recommend someone or request to speak with previous clients of the attorney you choose. Most importantly, don’t take the situation lightly. Any criminal charges are potentially very serious, and the right defense can make all the difference in the outcome.
