Questions to ask when you Interview a North Carolina Criminal Defense Lawyer

How much experience do you have in criminal defense?

When you are accused of a crime, it is important to choose a lawyer who has a lot of experience in criminal defense and understands the criminal law system. It is also a good idea to look for someone who has represented others in situations similar to yours.

What are your credentials?

Ask the attorney about his or her education background. Also, find out if they have won any awards or commendations for their work in criminal law. You can also ask about professional organizations the attorney belongs to. Find out if they are active members of organizations like:

Have you ever been professionally reprimanded?

Find out if any of the attorneys on your list have any blemishes on their record. You can check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the state Bar Association to check out a North Carolina criminal defense lawyer's background.

What kind of track record do you have defending clients?

Learn about each attorney's success rate in handling criminal defense matters. While an attorney cannot promise you results, if they have obtained favorable results for others in situations like yours, it is a good indication that they know how to effectively fight for your best interest.

What is your fee schedule?

Before you hire an attorney, make sure you understand how and when they want to be paid. If you are unable to afford the cost of an attorney up front, ask if they can work out a payment plan with you. If you are facing serious criminal charges and at least one year in prison, an attorney may be appointed for you at no cost to you.

Do you have references that I can contact?

Criminal defense attorneys should have references from clients, other attorneys and/or judges available upon request. Be sure to contact any of the names you are given and ask what they liked and disliked about the attorney.
