Finding the best Plymouth defense attorney for your case - the three most important questions for hiring the right lawyer
1) How many years have you been practicing criminal law? Most attorneys have little to no experience with criminal law. They will advertise themselves as criminal defense attorney, but may have never handled a crimial case like yours. Many lawyers view criminal defense law as a part-time job and an easy way to make some extra money; you should not subject yourself to this type of attorney! Demand that your lawyer tell you how many years they have of practicing criminal law. It’s one thing to be a tax attorney for five years, who also does some criminal law on the side, but another to have that same experience as a criminal defense attorney. Would you hire a car mechanic to replace your hip?
2) Have you handled my type of case before? Would you want your doctor performing his/her first brain surgery on you? Sure a potential lawyer may have experience in criminal law in Michigan, but have they handled a case like yours before? A Michigan DUI case is a lot different than a Michigan divorce violence case, and a minor in possession is a lot different than a Michigan felony drunk driving third offense.
3) Do you know the judges and prosecutors in Plymouth? Your attorney should have experience of working with the three presiding judges Plymouth (Judge Ronald W. Lowe, Judge Michael J. Gerou, and Judge James A. Plakas along with a good relationship with the assistant prosecutors who will be prosecuting your case.
