How to Find a Rhode Island Criminal Defense Attorney

Get references from multiple and diverse sources

When you are in need of a criminal defense attorney in Rhode Island, ask people that you know if they can recommend a good attorney for your situation. If you know an attorney who focuses their practice on a different area of law, ask him or her if they can refer a good criminal defense attorney. You can also consult the state Bar Association and online attorney directories, like www.AttorneyLocate.com, to find attorneys throughout the state in places like Providence, Cranston, Warwick and Pawtucket.

Narrow down your list

Once you have generated a list of potential attorneys, start doing some research to narrow your list to the top candidates. When narrowing your list, consider things like educational background, membership in professional organizations, years of experience, relevant experience defending others in situations similar to yours, availability, resources and support staff.

Take advantage of free consultations

Many criminal defense attorneys in Rhode Island offer a free initial consultation. Attorneys are not required to do this, so don't assume that your initial consultation will be free. Always ask. During your meeting, pay attention to how the attorney interacts with you, his or her staff and how organized he or she is. Ask him or her about their case load and if they have sufficient time to dedicate to your case. If you are uncomfortable with an attorney for any reason whatsoever, even if you can't put it into words, look for another attorney.

Be honest

When you talk with an attorney, make sure that you are honest with him or her about your situation. An attorney will need to know the full story if you expect him or her to develop a solid case in your defense. Most communication with an attorney is confidential and legally protected by attorney-client privilege. If you are unsure whether information you share will be protected, ask the attorney.
