What to look for when you need a Criminal Lawyer in Alaska

When you need a criminal lawyer in Alaska, whether you're in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau or elsewhere in the state, there are several things that you should look for:

Does the attorney have experience representing your type of case?

The laws are constantly changing for every type of criminal situation. So, whether you've been accused of drunk driving, theft, assault or robbery, you need an attorney who has handled cases like yours in the past and has stayed current with the latest laws in the particular area of law that you are up against. When you talk to potential attorneys, be sure to ask them not only how long they've been practicing law, but how much experience they have representing cases like yours.

Does the attorney have the time and resources to handle your case?

Not all cases are created equally. Some cases will demand more time and expense than others, while some cases will be relatively simple. Based on the specific nature of your situation, it is important to ask an attorney if he or she has the time to devote to your case, and the resources to aggressively protect your best interests. Your attorney should be able to maintain open communication with you and keep you updated on the status of your case.

What are the attorney's fees?

If you have been accused of a serious crime and face the potential of at least 6 months in jail, you are entitled to have an attorney appointed to you at no cost if you cannot afford one. However, if you are facing lesser charges, like a misdemeanor, this is not necessarily a right guaranteed to you under the U.S. Constitution. Most criminal defense lawyers charge their clients on a flat rate or hourly basis; a criminal defense attorney cannot offer to work on a contingency fee basis. When consulting an attorney, make sure you are aware of all costs you will be responsible for and understand how your attorney expects to be paid. If you cannot afford the expense of an attorney, you may want to find an attorney who will accept a payment plan for his or her services.

Do you feel comfortable with the attorney?

It is important to trust your gut instinct when searching for a criminal defense lawyer in Alaska. If you are uncomfortable with an attorney for any reason, even if you can't explain why, it is probably a good idea to look for another attorney. Your attorney should be someone that you trust and can work well with since you will most likely be spending a lot of time with your attorney as he or she prepares for your defense.
