How do I find the best criminal lawyer in DC for me?
Peter Odom: Part of it is looking for someone who has experience with what you’re charged with and part of it is finding someone that you have a personal connection with, someone who you trust, and someone who you feel will represent you well.
Sometimes, you can’t get that information just by looking it up online. A lot of times, you have to meet the person, talk with them, have a conversation, get an idea as to what they think some strategies might be, and find out what that person has to offer and then talk to more than one. Talk to three or four attorneys, find out who you think can handle your situation best and who you feel the most comfortable with.
