  • What to Look for in a Criminal Defense Attorney

    You have the right to choose the criminal defense attorney you hire to represent you. However, not all lawyers are equally equipped to handle criminal defense cases. Here are some of the characteristics you can look for:

    • Experience in a wide range of criminal defense cases, including the particular type of case you are involved in

    • Knowledge of how prosecutors construct their cases and how to identify vulnerabilities in the opposition’s case
    • Clear information about how they plan to approach your case and how they can protect your rights
    • The willingness to discuss their track record and how many cases like yours they have won

    “Cate Purdum was present, attentive, always returned my calls.”

    Cate Purdum was present, attentive, always returned my calls (I had attorneys before who never call you back), answered my questions and never ignored my calls. If I ever need an attorney in the future I will definitely go back to her.

    “She kept me out of jail and home with my kiddo.”

    Catherine Meehan did an amazing job. Very responsive, friendly, and obviously very good with words. She kept me out of jail and home with my kiddo. For that I can't ever repay the favor. Much appreciated hope I never need your assistance again but if so I'll definitely give you a call. Thank you again.
