5 qualities to look for in a Massachusetts criminal defense lawyer
When you are faced with criminal charges, your defense lawyer is your lifeline. Who you choose to hire can be the difference between a bright future and really devastating consequences.
Here are five qualities to look for in an effective Massachusetts criminal defense lawyer:
(1) Persistence
Criminal defense is challenging. The prosecution has a number of advantages over the defense in a criminal case. While effective criminal defense takes skill and experience, it also takes persistence to stand up against relentless prosecutors and unforgiving judges. The right Massachusetts criminal defense lawyer will be aggressive and committed to finding ways to pivot and persist through every new challenge.
(2) Resourcefulness
Effective criminal defense lawyers have to be very creative in strategizing and crafting a powerful defense. They must be knowledgeable about the law and about the details of your case. They must also tap into all available resources in order to find holes and opportunities in the prosecution’s case to argue in your defense. The right Massachusetts criminal defense lawyer will know what evidence to pursue, what witnesses to call, and what laws to cite to defend your rights.
(3) Good analytical skills
A good defense attorney will navigate a complex case without losing the details. They will be able to digest the law and its requirements, scrutinize every detail of the prosecution’s arguments, and form their own arguments and reasoning to effectively defend your position.
(4) Good communication skills
Not only should a Massachusetts criminal defense lawyer be able to effectively communicate with a judge, jury, district attorney and possible witnesses, they should also be able to effectively communicate with you. Client communication and courtroom communication require different skill sets and the right attorney will excel in both settings.
(5) Experience in your local court system
The importance of experience with the local courts cannot be overstated. Every court system is different, and hiring a trial-tested Massachusetts criminal defense lawyer with experience in your local courts is a huge competitive advantage.
