Why Should I Hire a Private Criminal Defense Attorney?

 

Peter Odom: The public defenders in DC are often very good. However, when you’re making the decision whether or not to hire a private criminal defense attorney as opposed to having a public defender, the most important question is always who you feel the most comfortable with and who you feel a connection with.

But, it’s a question of establishing a relationship with a lawyer with whom you have that level of trust and many times you can only get that from going and hiring someone directly.
