What to Expect When Hiring a Massachusetts Criminal Defense Lawyer

Relevant Experience

When you are looking for a Massachusetts criminal defense lawyer, you should try to find someone who has represented cases just like yours. While no two cases are identical, finding an attorney who has experience in the specific area of law that you are facing is important. Additionally, your attorney should be an active member of professional organizations like the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the National Legal Aid and Defenders Association, the Association of Federal Defense Attorneys or the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense.

Equitable Pay Structure

Your attorney should offer you an equitable pay structure by charging either a flat fee or an hourly fee. Criminal defense attorneys are not allowed to charge clients on a contingency fee basis -- that is, where you don't pay the attorney unless he or she wins -- as this is highly unethical, not to mention, illegal. Make sure you are aware of exactly how and when your attorney expects to be paid. If you are unable to afford an attorney, ask if they can work out a payment plan with you.

Clear Communication

You should expect your Massachusetts criminal defense attorney to be able to clearly communicate with you. Your attorney should speak plain English and not talk down to you. An attorney should also have a plan for how and when he or she will provide you with updates on your case. If you are uncomfortable talking to an attorney, or don't feel like you can be honest with him or her, it may be a good idea to look for someone else to represent you.

Sound Advice

When you have an initial consultation with a criminal defense attorney, he or she should be able to provide you with solid legal advice based on your circumstances. While an attorney cannot promise you a positive outcome, he or she should be able to provide you with realistic expectations for resolving your case.
