Ask For Recommendations
If you have any friends or family members who have experience with an Orlando criminal defense attorney, ask them if they would recommend hiring that person. You can also talk to friends or family members who are lawyers themselves – even if they do not practice criminal defense, they may have connections to someone who does and a good understanding of that person’s experience.
Get a Background Check
With all the criminal defense lawyers on TV, in newspaper ads, and online, it is important to learn about their background before you hire them blindly. First, are they certified to practice law in the State of Florida? Do they have any malpractice records? You can even check up on your lawyer online; access to their past records is available at the Florida Bar website.
Ask Questions During Your Initial Consultation
Come to your initial consultation with a list of questions that you want to ask your attorney. Some things you might want to consider are how long they have been practicing Florida criminal law, how many cases they have handed that are similar to yours, what outcome they expect from the trial, and how they plan to bill you. A good attorney should be able to give you direct, honest answers to all of these questions and anything else you want to know about their professional background.
Ask Yourself If You Feel Comfortable With Your Orlando Defense Attorney
After your initial consultation, consider whether you feel comfortable working with this attorney. From your conversation, did they seem knowledgeable about the Florida criminal law system? Do they seem like they have too many cases on their hands or will they be able to dedicate enough time to your case? Your decision ultimately comes down to who you think you can work well with and who will do the best job representing you.
