What factors should I consider when hiring a defense attorney for criminal cases?

Consider hiring an attorney who focuses solely on criminal law. Having in-depth experience in this specific area of law enables the attorney to surpass those who only handle criminal cases occasionally. At Smithson Legal, our attorney is a former prosecutor who possesses extensive knowledge of the court system and garners respect from judges and prosecutors in the Central Florida region. To obtain a neutral viewpoint, you may wish to review the attorney’s AVVO rating and online testimonials. Lastly, ensure that you have trust and comfort in your selected attorney.
