It may seem difficult to select good criminal defense attorneys at first andPhillips Law Group caution you against retaining the first attorney you meet. There are many criminal defense attorneys who do not limit their practice to criminal cases and some of these attorneys only handle a few cases a year. Some other criminal defense attorneys may be incompetent or inexperienced.

To find good criminal defense attorneys, Phillips Law Group suggest that you ask the following questions:

• Does your firm have criminal defense attorneys who are highly experienced in the defense of criminal cases?
• Does your firm have criminal defense attorneys who limit their practice to criminal and D.U.I. defense?
• Does your firm make promises as to the results that they can obtain? Beware — this is something ethical criminal defense attorneys cannot do. Specific results cannot be accurately predicted.
• Does your firm use a written flat fee agreement that includes trial if necessary? Or is the “fee” only a low initial retainer that does not cover the entire criminal case or prior investigation? (Our Fee Agreements cover all legal fees. Legal costs, however, are extra).
• Will your firm actually handle the case or will you simply sign me up and refer me to other criminal defense attorneys or another law firm?
