There are two philosophies in criminal defense firms: Fight or Flight. Which one do you want?
Most of the lawyers you will come across are “flight” attorneys. To them, you are nothing more than a manila folder and a check. These are the “paper pushers”. They take a lot of cases, usually at a low price and push clients to just plea guilty. They charge less because they plan to spend very little time on your case. Their goal is to get in and get out. They run. They often don’t even ask you any questions and force you to do what is good for THEM.
For those who just want to plea guilty and deal with the severe long term consequences of a conviction, then flight attorneys are good for them.
The other school of thought are the “trial lawyers”. For a trial lawyer, the default strategy is to challenge your case in court. They ask a lot of questions because they want to understand your situation and what is at stake for you. A trial lawyer wants to protect your future.
A trial attorney will spend more time investigating and preparing your case. They will take a deep dive into the evidence to get to know the small details because details win cases. These are the lawyers that fight. It’s in their DNA.
