How to Prepare for an Initial Consultation with a Virginia Criminal Defense Attorney

Research the attorney before your meeting

Before you meet with a criminal defense attorney in Virginia, it is a good idea to do your research. You can go to an attorney's Web site to get a lot of pertinent information about his or her practice. On an attorney's Web site, you should be able to discover information like:

  • Where he or she went to law school
  • How long he or she has been practicing law
  • What kind of experience he or she has in criminal defense
  • If he or she has sufficient support staff
  • What professional organizations he or she belongs to
  • How to contact him or her
  • Prepare a list of questions

    Based on your preliminary research, develop a list of questions that you could not find answers to on the attorney's Web site. You will want to learn about the attorney's availability, how many cases he or she typically handles in a month, his or her success rate representing cases like yours, what he or she can offer you, and what advice he or she can provide you with.

    Be honest about your situation

    When you meet with an attorney, be honest about your situation. A Virginia criminal defense attorney can only offer you good advice to the degree that you are honest with him or her about your situation. Before you start disclosing too much information, though, make sure that your conversation is confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege.

    Assess the attorney's demeanor

    One of the most important reasons you need to meet with an attorney before you hire him or her is not only to get your questions answered, but to assess whether or not the attorney is a good fit for you and your situation. Remember, you may be dealing with this person for quite some time; it's important that he or she has a personality that you can work with. Meeting with the attorney in person also allows your intuition to have a say in the matter. If you feel uneasy about an attorney, it is probably a good idea to look for someone else to represent you.
