What to Look for in a Criminal Defense Attorney

What would you do if you were arrested and charged with a serious criminal offense? Would you rely on a public defender who’s handling hundreds of other cases and might not even know your name? Or would you rather be represented by a well qualified Dallas criminal defense firm that’s logged years of experience in your own community?

But once you’ve decided to hire your own lawyer, how do you know when you’ve found the right one? One simple rule to remember when interviewing Dallas criminal defense attorneys is, “go with your gut.” If you’re talking to an attorney who just doesn’t seem like good fit for you, you’re probably right. Just move on and find an attorney who’s more your style. After all, you’ll probably be spending a lot of time with your lawyer, so you want one you get along with well.

If you just don’t feel like the lawyers your friends and family members recommend, you’ll want to speak with, or visit, the Texas State Bar Association. They run a free lawyer referral service on their web site at www.texbar.com. This web site can help you easily generate a list of potential litigants to handle your case.
