When you or a loved one is facing criminal charges, life as you know it seems to come to an abrupt stop. Your comfort zone shatters, and that awful sense of panic sets in. To make things worse, if you've never consulted with an attorney in the past, having to do so now might seem intimidating, especially when the charges are serious.
So for anyone in such a situation, it's so very important for you to remember that a criminal defense attorney with these 5 attributes can absolutely help you, no matter the case.
1. They see you as a human being, not just a client.
An effective attorney is one who has you and your loved ones' interests as a priority. As you sit together, they’ll talk to you, not at you. They'll keep in mind that you're probably scared and maybe even losing hope. More importantly, they'll stick with you until the problem is resolved and your peace of mind returns.
An attorney you can bond with from the very beginning is essential.

2. They have proven courtroom experience.
Not only is successful trial experience a huge benefit, but having experience with a wide range of criminal cases is key. An attorney who knows his way around the courtroom in any situation will have the ability to properly defend and litigate any violations against your Constitutional rights.
3. Their research skills produce results.
Any attorney can perform research, but a successful attorney will have the perseverance to investigate and find information that is most critical to your case. They’ll be able to research the right sources with speed and accuracy, understanding that time is of the essence and that you need answers fast.
4. Their reputation is high.
An unfortunate, common mistake people make when choosing an attorney is forgetting to or simply deciding not to look into the background, case results, and testimonials of the law firm they hire. Making sure you choose an attorney who can prove their past success in multiple cases - especially cases that might be similar to yours - is something you cannot afford to neglect.

5. They can creatively solve your unique problems.
Even though attorneys might work with people who have been accused of cases that are very much alike, each case requires dedicated attention to details unique to the client. Age, family circumstances, economic status, and criminal history can all be factors in a case. A creative attorney will acknowledge and utilize those unique details to create the best strategy for you individually.
