“Michael Jumped into the trenches and fought harder than any lawyer I have ever seen.”
An experienced Criminal Defense lawyer can make or break your case. The price you pay depends on the experience. Experience is worth the price.
Make sure you know the lawyer you talk to from the start will be the lawyer that will be by your side the whole way.
In other words the intake attorney may pass you to an attorney in the firm not as “experienced” as the attorney you talked to when you walked in the door.
This may not be comforting.
