Choosing the Right Attorney

Today I met with a family regarding the representation they received in a case that remains on-going.  Turns out the attorney did most of the right actions but lacked the patience and proverbial bed-side manner to fully explain the criminal process to the client and family and what they had left to experienced.  I have examined the merits of a case against the attorney but that is not a business I want to be in. Tragically, in this case, more was charged for the work done.

In choosing an attorney, perhaps the two key factors are: job knowledge and second, the attorneys ability to convey and explain information.  If you talk to attorney who seems uncertain about what he or she speaks or has to refer to others before answering, you might need to proceed with caution.
