Do I Need a Criminal Defense Attorney?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Yes, if you want to avoid jail or have your charges dropped\nor reduced. Although you can choose to use a public defender, a stronger chance\nat dismissing criminal charges or entering into alternative sentencing\nagreements is by hiring a licensed defense lawyer. They have the experience,\nlitigation skills, and acute knowledge of the law to effectively build a defense\nthat challenges your criminal allegations and pursue a more favorable outcome\nfor your case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are All Criminal Defense Lawyers the Same?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

No. There are many unqualified and inexperienced lawyers\nthat may claim to have knowledge of a certain area of law, but not extensively\nenough to beat federal or state criminal charges. It is important to find an\nattorney that has several years of experience and that has represented cases\nsimilar to yours, successfully. Be sure the lawyer you hire is proficient in\nthe particular area of law that your charges fall under. You wouldn\u2019t want a\ndivorce lawyer fighting your theft charges, would you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is a Defense Attorney Better Than a Public Defender?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Public defenders often work for larger firms, and do not do\nthe investigation and research on their cases themselves. Instead, paralegals\nand investigators do most of the work, leaving the public defender out of the\nloop on details about the case circumstances. This leaves them unqualified and\nunequipped to effectively fight a person\u2019s criminal charges. A criminal lawyer\ndoes all the investigative research themselves, and personally commits to every\ndetail of the case. This is just one reason why they are the most promising\nchoice for defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When your life and freedom are on the line, don\u2019t let money\nget in the way. It is important to never establish your decision on a criminal\nattorney based on price. Some law firms charge more than others, while some\ncharge less than they should. If the price quote seems too good to be true from\na defense attorney, it may be because they are inexperienced and trying to\nbuild their practice. Choose an experienced attorney that will get you the\nfairest possible outcome for your case, not an attorney with a cheap retainer\nfee. Your future depends on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
