Don’t Hire a Discount Lawyer YOUR FUTURE IS IN THE BALANCE

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.” – attributed to Benjamin Franklin Facing criminal charges is one of the most stressful experiences a person can undergo. After you’ve been arrested, you’ll be dealing with a lot of emotions. Given the anxiety, it can be easy to overlook the importance of hiring the right attorney. That choice, though, will have a massive bearing on how your case plays out.

DOES THIS PERSON HAVE EXPERIENCE? Make sure the lawyer regularly handles criminal cases, especially cases like yours. Ask about their track record with your type of case. It’s also worth asking about how an attorney will prepare for your case. DOES THIS PERSON CARE ABOUT YOU? Don’t hire a lawyer who doesn’t devote his full attention to you when you meet to discuss hiring them. Find out how you’ll be involved in the development of the defense of your case. CAN WE COMMUNICATE HONESTLY? You have too much at stake to hire somebody who won’t be clear with you. Even if the answers aren’t what you want to hear, honest dialogue is the foundation of every attorney and client relationship. Without it, you’ll never get the result you’re looking for. Choosing an attorney isn’t always easy, but putting effort into your decision- making process will give you peace of mind during a difficult time. At Holland & Usry, we treat every client like family, answer any questions, and will give you the straight talk you need.

When it comes to legal representation, you cannot bargain-basement shop. You’re not buying a microwave. We’re talking about your future — your freedom, your reputation, and maybe even your life. With so much on the line, hiring a lawyer because they are cheap is a poor decision you’re bound to regret. To find the right attorney for you, the more research you do, the better off you’ll be. As you’re making your decision, ask yourself the following questions. CAN I TRUST THIS PERSON? If you don’t have complete confidence in a prospective attorney, move on. You don’t want to spend the entirety of the process wondering if your attorney is on the ball.

Corinthians 13:4-8a (NIV) Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. Good News
