When Should You Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

I’m going to answer the question as to when someone should hire a criminal defense attorney in a very kind of circuitous way. First of all you should contact a lawyer whenever you think you need one.

My biggest criticism with many clients is that they wait. They think they can handle it, or that the problem will go away. Well, instead of waiting, here’s what you should do…pick up the phone, and call a defense lawyer and you get some advice. If fact, even when there’s an uncomfortable feeling about it whether you’re in trouble…call a lawyer.

We make a practice of not taking retainers from people who intend to commit crimes. So we’ll dissuade someone from doing that. But we will encourage them when things are uncomfortable to call. There’s no charge for a call. Come in, talk to us for a consultation.

So, in answering the question – “When should you contact a criminal defense attorney?” The answer is as soon as you think you possibly might need one.

In the real world, most certainly the moment you are arrested. The first thing you should cry out for is not your Mom, but your attorney. Your attorney at that point is the one who could help you. Your Mom may become second.
