If you find yourself facing serious federal charges, then you need a good criminal defense attorney at your side.
How can you find the best defense attorney in Atlanta? Here are a few things you should look for:
Experience with Your Situation
First and foremost, choose a lawyer that has years of extensive experience in fighting cases just like yours. An experienced attorney will have an in-depth knowledge of the laws applying to your case and will know what facts can work to your advantage.
Someone Local
Don’t look outside Atlanta for legal help and advice. You preferably want an attorney who’s familiar with local courthouse policy and even how the neighborhood police will perform before a jury. Only local lawyers have this kind of inside knowledge.
A Personality That Suits Yours
Your attorney must be someone you feel comfortable opening up to. If you don’t think the personality is a good fit, then the personal conflict could lead to communication problems.
Someone Who Protects Your Interests
A good lawyer doesn’t care whether or not you actually “did it.” A good lawyer focuses on his or her job to reduce or drop the charges against you and uses every resource to get you the best outcome for your case. He will also ensure that you are treated fairly per the local justice system and advocate for your rights.
Your lawyer should remind you of your right to remain silent and help you make decisions that will help–not hinder–your case.
