CRIMINAL LAW
Whether you are charged with a violation, misdemeanor or a felony, which lawyer you hire is the most important decision you will make.
Having an experienced criminal defense lawyer can affect how your case is handled, whether or not you are ultimately convicted, what punishment you receive and possibly your freedom. At the very minimum, a criminal conviction on your record can prevent you from getting certain jobs or state licenses (teacher, Realtor, truck driver, accountant, lawyer, etc.) or from being admitted to the armed services or to college.
Therefore, if you are charged with a crime, you should hire an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. The criminal process moves very quickly in the early stages. Having a skilled lawyer represent you can influence bail applications, arraignment and preliminary hearings. Additionally, there may be evidence favorable to your case that may need to be preserved and collected as soon as possible. In many instances, hiring knowledgeable counsel at the early stages of the case can dramatically change the length and outcome of your case.
Criminal defense, and especially criminal jury trials, require attorneys with extensive knowledge and experience in criminal law. Criminal law and procedure is a vast and precise area of law, and as a result, hiring a lawyer who only handles occasional criminal cases can be a big mistake, especially if your case goes to trial.
