Finding the Right Criminal Defense Lawyer for You

If you are currently facing one or more criminal charges, it is essential that you have a knowledgeable and experienced criminal defense lawyer advocating for you every step of the way. However, not all criminal defense lawyers are the same. You want an attorney on your side who has experience defending clients against your particular criminal charge and who frequently deals with state prosecutors. You also want a lawyer on your side who is ethical and who regularly (and successfully) takes criminal matters to bench and jury trials.

At Cohen Law Offices, our legal team has the expertise, ethics, and skills to successfully handle every aspect of your criminal case, from favorably negotiating with state prosecutors, to litigating your case, to presenting your case before a judge or jury in court.

 

Experience Handling Your Particular Criminal Charge

In a criminal case, you want an attorney representing you who regularly defends individuals who are facing your particular criminal charge. Therefore, if you are currently charged with committing a robbery, you want a lawyer on your side who regularly defends individuals accused of committing violent offenses. You also want a lawyer on your side who has a favorable track record of success. When you meet with a prospective attorney, you should ask them about their success rate and how many clients they have previously represented with similar criminal charges. You will then be in a position to make an informed decision about whether to retain the services of a particular criminal defense attorney.

Experience in Court

Moreover, when deciding upon a criminal defense attorney to represent you, you want a lawyer on your side who has a good rapport with prosecutors and who regularly handles criminal court matters. Having a good rapport with criminal prosecutors can be beneficial when it comes to negotiating a favorable plea deal in your case. A prosecutor might be inclined to give you a more favorable deal if they have a good working relationship with your criminal defense lawyer. Moreover, if your case has to go to a criminal bench or jury trial, you want a lawyer on your side who regularly tries criminal cases to a conclusion and has a rapport with the judges who facilitate those matters. Handling a criminal court case, especially a jury trial, is much different than a civil trial. Therefore, you want a lawyer who has a strong track record of success in the criminal courtroom – and most importantly, one who is ethical.
