Traits to Seek in a Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Lawyer
Can clearly communicate important information
Look for an attorney who can talk to you about your case in plain language. If you do not understand what your attorney is telling you, be sure to tell your attorney. If your attorney cannot explain things to you in a way that you understand or talks down to you in any way, you may want to start looking for a different lawyer.
Has relevant experience
Look for an attorney who knows the criminal justice system like the back of his hand. Additionally, try to find an attorney who has successfully represented people in the specific area of law that you are up against. It's usually smart to hire an attorney who has dedicated their practice to criminal defense, rather than someone who just dabbles in criminal defense.
Offers a fair pay structure
Criminal defense attorneys may charge by the hour or ask for a flat fee for their services. How an attorney charges for their time is largely dependent upon the complexity of your case and how much time the attorney anticipates having to spend on your behalf. Criminal defense attorneys may not ask to be paid on a contingency fee basis, that is, where you don't pay them anything unless they win. This is highly unethical and illegal.
Belongs to professional organizations
Membership in professional organizations is an indication that an attorney is committed to a particular area of law. Find out if your Pennsylvania criminal defense lawyer belongs to organizations like:
Has the time and resources to develop a solid case for your defense
Your criminal defense lawyer should have the resources and capability to conduct their own investigation of the crime scene and provide their own analysis of the evidence against you.
