Of course, if all lawyers looked like a Mr. ‘Harvey’ there might well be a few more offenses than necessary, am I right ladies?

Criminal law.
Sounds pretty straight forward and for the most part, it is, but a few fine-tuning details are what sets it apart from the rest.
When we think of criminal law, for me I imagine a person in a black ski mask, hessian-blend burlap bag over one shoulder, and flashlight in the hand, don’t get me wrong but I may have seen too many cartoons and they have imprinted into my mind. Oh well.
The law that refers to criminals accesses them and sends them off to the most suitable facility for rehabilitation, take a minute to read here on the history of criminal law, and then begin your task of concluding the ‘said’ case.
It may be easy, it may not, but the main objective is to be taken care of, your case handled professionally and swiftly, and most importantly, as if you are the only person that matters to them, and winning is their solution.
3 Tips on what makes a great lawyer.
A slick haircut and a sharp-looking suit are part of the package, but a well-versed and educated man or woman ready to tackle the defensive party is going to be where you want to put your money.
• Investigation and investment. You’re likely paying an extortionate amount of money so a lawyer who is up past midnight or taking those few precious moments to themselves to collect their thoughts is a feature you should be after.
• Witness. Going beyond the state’s basic piece f paper with names on, a lawyer committed to your cause will go the extra mile of talking with the witnesses, have them draw or write out their experience and sign it, this way you have the upper hand in the courtroom.
• Mock trial. Lawyers have seen and done it all, you haven’t, doing a mock-trial as the term goes is a ‘set-up’ courtroom with a jury, and where the defendant can practice his or her case and question answering.
You know what they say, practice makes perfect, and it is no different to state laws, you may feel overwhelmed once in the courthouse, having the answers, or a few, to begin with, memorized will help you relax and not forget what to say.
At the end of the day, if you are made to feel welcome and comfortable when meeting at their offices for the first time, it is a good indication and one to follow.
