Criminal Defense Lawyers

Questions to ask when interviewing a criminal defense lawyer:

Do you focus exclusively on criminal law? (Criminal law is highly specialized, so you want someone who's an expert in your type of case.)
Have you practiced law in the community where my case is being brought?
What are the possible defenses to this crime? What are my chances of avoiding a conviction?
How long will my case take?
What are your fees? Do I have to pay a deposit up front?
