Criminal Lawyer
If you or a loved one has been charged with a crime, a criminal lawyer is the type of lawyer you should turn to. A criminal lawyer will be knowledgeable in areas related to criminal law, including issues related to bail, arraignment, arrest, pleas and any issues relating to the criminal trial itself.

Ready to Meet With a Lawyer?
Before you choose a lawyer or legal firm, make sure you talk with the attorney who will be handling your case directly—preferably in person. Consider bringing a list of questions as well as any relevant material to the meeting. Remember that you don't have to hire the first lawyer you meet with, and that you want a lawyer you can trust first and foremost.
