Traits to Look for in Your Louisiana Criminal Defense Lawyer

Ability to Provide Objective Advice about How Best to Proceed with your Case

When you contact an attorney about your situation, he or she should be able to provide you with sound legal advice about the best way to proceed in your defense. Keep in mind that an attorney cannot promise you a specific outcome, but can provide you with information so that you have realistic expectations for your case. If you are not comfortable with the direction an attorney wants to take with your case, look for someone else.

Established Track Record in the Field

Find out how long a Louisiana criminal defense lawyer has been practicing law and how much experience they have representing cases like yours. Ask an attorney for references from past clients and find out if he or she belongs to professional organizations like:

Resources to Adequately Handle your Case

If you have a complex case that is going to demand significant independent research, investigation and tracking down of witnesses, it is important to make sure an attorney has the resources to do all of that before you hire him or her. Also, make sure an attorney is not overwhelmed with other cases so that he or she has enough time and energy to devote to your case.

Easy to Get Along With

It is very likely that you will be working with your criminal defense attorney for a long time. For this reason, it is a good idea to hire an attorney that you get along with. Meet potential lawyers in person before hiring one so that you can get a good sense of their personality and whether or not they are someone that you can work with.

Fair Payment Plan

Hiring a criminal defense lawyer in Louisiana can be expensive. Most criminal defense lawyers will charge an hourly rate or a flat rate for their services. It is illegal for a criminal defense attorney to provide service on a contingency fee basis. If you are unable to afford an attorney's services up front, ask him or her if they offer a payment plan that will take your budget into account.
