Questions to Ask When Choosing a Criminal Defense Lawyer
If you are facing an Arizona criminal charge in the Surprise, Glendale, or Peoria area, choosing a defense attorney who will fight for the best possible outcome in your case is vital. The following questions may help you determine whether an attorney has the experience your case requires.
Question To Ask Your Attorney:
- Do you have experience in criminal defense? Attorneys with experience in criminal defense cases know what to expect from the criminal process, which helps them predict the types of support their clients will need most.
- Have you handled cases like mine before? Although every criminal case is unique, lawyers with criminal defense experience have often dealt with charges similar to your case repeatedly. An attorney who is familiar with the laws involved in your case and has defended people against similar charges in the past is better able to draw from that experience in building your defense.
- Can you explain the charges against me and what might happen if I am convicted? While no attorney can guarantee an outcome for your case, your defense attorney should still be able to explain the charges you face and the possible penalties in a way that you understand. Being able to communicate openly with your lawyer is fundamental to building the best possible defense in your case.
