Strategies for Finding a Maine Criminal Defense Lawyer

Generate a List of Potential Attorneys

When you are in need of a criminal defense attorney in Maine, it is important to have options. You may feel the pressure to hire the first attorney that you come in contact with, but it is important to take a little time to find the attorney who is best suited to handle your case. You can generate a list of potential attorneys by asking friends and family for references; you can also ask other attorneys if they would recommend any criminal defense lawyers in the area. Another place you can get the name of criminal defense attorneys in Maine is at www.AttorneyLocate.com, an online attorney directory where you can find lawyers in places like Bangor, Portland, Augusta, Lewiston and elsewhere throughout the state.

Find Someone with Relevant Experience

Once you have a list of potential candidates, it's time to start researching. Fortunately, the Internet makes researching potential attorneys much easier since most attorneys have Web sites these days. So, find each attorney's Web site and start looking for basic information. Things you may want to consider include:

  • Educational Background
  • Years of Experience
  • Commitment to Criminal Defense
  • Membership in Professional Organizations
  • Success Rate
  • Availability
  • Support Staff
  • Interview Top Candidates before making a Decision

    Once you've narrowed down your list based on your research, meet with your top candidates in person. Meeting face-to-face allows you to assess each attorney's personality and demeanor. Since you may be working with this person for quite some time, it is important to know if you can get along with him or her. Additionally, meeting an attorney in person allows your intuition to pick up on subtle cues about an attorney's character. Always trust your gut instinct.
