Are you being accused of a crime? Whatever the allegations against you, be they driving under the influence (DUI)\/driving while intoxicated (DWI) or assault and battery, you have to undergo the criminal process to determine what the final verdict would be. Drunk driving may be a far cry from robbery and embezzlement or even manslaughter and homicide, but it still boils down to you being charged with a crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

When faced with criminal charges, whether felonies or misdemeanors, the first step to take is to hire a lawyer who specializes in criminal cases instead of civil ones. If this is your first time being charged with a criminal offense, you probably won\u2019t have a defense attorney among your existing contacts. In this case, you can ask your current lawyer to refer you to a good criminal lawyer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many criminal lawyers choose to work in smaller law firms if not independently, and they typically practice in a limited geographic area. Criminal defense attorneys<\/a> also tend not to have regular clients to work with, with one-time legal representation understandably being the ideal scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some private criminal defense lawyers come from being public defenders, while others previously worked as prosecutors. Both backgrounds can offer an advantage. It\u2019s best to do your due diligence and see what your prospects\u2019 records have to say about them.<\/span><\/p>\n
