What to Look for in a California Criminal Defense Attorney

Relevant experience

Whoever you choose to represent you against criminal charges should have relevant experience handling cases just like yours. While some practices offer a full-range of criminal defense services, make sure they understand your situation and have had success representing others facing similar charges. If you are facing federal charges, make sure you find an attorney who has worked in and understands the federal court system.

Current knowledge of applicable case law

Your attorney should be familiar with recent cases that may aid in your defense. Laws are constantly changing and it is important to have a California criminal defense lawyer who stays up-to-date on the latest happenings in the field of criminal law.

Well-credentialed

Look for an attorney who belongs to criminal law organizations and is in good standing with the state bar association. Participation in legal organizations may show a commitment to a particular field of law. In addition to considering where an attorney went to law school, some relevant legal organizations you should ask a potential lawyer about include:

Has a personality you can work with

As you seek to hire an attorney to represent you against the criminal charges that you face, keep in mind that you will have to work directly with this person. If you discover that your personality just does not mesh with a potential attorney, it is best to find someone that you better gel with. Remember, you don't have to be buddy-buddy with your attorney, but the process can go much smoother if you choose someone that you respect and someone who does not get on your nerves or intimidate you.

Will stay in contact with you

Be sure to find an attorney who will really be your advocate and keep you posted of what is happening with your case. Your attorney may not be in contact with you every day, but he or she should make sure you know what progress is being made with your case.
