What should you look for in a good lawyer?

Do you mean to tell me that some lawyers are not reliable?

It’s sad to say, but a very important function of an attorney is to be available when his clients need him. To be available, therefore, is essential to providing adequate representation. You should know that your lawyer is not going to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, he should be available within 24 hours of any of your phone calls. This is your time of need. This is your life. This is the time in your life when you need answers, and your lawyer should understand that. He should not judge you for being anxious. Most of all, he should not make you wait unnecessarily. Therefore, it is the policy of Law Offices of David A. Black to return each and every client’s phone call within one business day.

There are several things you should look for in an attorney. To begin, let us remember why you are looking for a defense lawyer in the first place. You need help. So the first thing you want to look at is whether or not your attorney can actually help you. There are some other considerations, however, that you may want to ponder; among these are whether or not your attorney is personable, whether or not your attorney is reliable, and whether or not your attorney is affordable.

Why is a personable attorney important?

A personable attorney is important because your attorney’s primary job is to communicate.  What are the possible sentences for this crime? What are the collateral consequences for this crime? (Collateral consequences are things such as license suspensions, loss of privilege to work in a certain field, loss of the ability to claim certain benefits, and other circumstances that may be the result of a criminal charge or sentence.)  If a lawyer doesn’t communicate these risks with you, he is not doing his job.

Furthermore, it is important that your lawyer be able to communicate and be personable with the prosecutor and the judge. The primary job of any criminal lawyer, if you’re charged with drug sale, theft, robbery, or DUI, is to negotiate. A Phoenix defense attorney may be negotiating for you with the judge himself, for example, at the time of sentencing, or he may be negotiating with the prosecutor in the more ordinary sense of the word.
