What to Look for in a Criminal Defense Lawyer
When looking for a criminal defense lawyer, you'll want to make sure they have the experience and resources necessary to tackle your case.
Start by researching the lawyer's background, and find out how long they have been practicing law in this area. Ask potential lawyers what kind of cases they handle most often, and look for someone who is knowledgeable about the laws specific to your county or state.
Criminal defense attorneys in Mississippi are required to be licensed, so make sure that all lawyers you interview have valid credentials and certifications. The lawyer should also be in good standing with the state’s bar association. You may even want to ask around in order get recommendations from former clients who have worked with the same attorney or who had similar cases.
Take the time to ask about the lawyer's trial experience, as well as any successful outcomes they have achieved for their clients in the past. You may even want to find out if they are willing to take your case to court, should your case go to trial.
Lastly, get a sense of how accessible and communicative the lawyer will be throughout the process. Ask them what methods of communication they use, and make sure you understand their policies around responding and addressing your inquiries.
