I was reading a different thread and someone asked the question, "how many of you have actually pre-selected a defense lawyer?", or something close to that. That raises a good question for me which is, how does one go about picking a self defense lawyer? Once the situation has already happened, presumably, you're not going to be in a good state of mind for picking a lawyer. I honestly have no idea how to select a lawyer, much less a "good" one, but it seems like it would be a great idea to have that already done before anything bad happens. I'm not plugged into the local legal community, so I have no experience in picking a lawyer. The worst situation I face is a speeding ticket. It's especially important to me since my job requires a security clearance and that can be ruined a number of ways. With so many law offices out there, how do you narrow down the field? How do you determine a "good" lawyer?
We consistently say "call a lawyer", but have you seen how many there are? As with any career, not all lawyers are created equal. Some are smarter, more savvy or clever and know the law better than others. This seems like it could be a big decision and a big step in remaining out of jail/prison.
I don't know anyone who has faced a local self-defense situation to ask what they did, so, how do you pre-select a local lawyer for a possible, future self-defense situation?
