What To Look For In A Criminal Defense Attorney
Alot of clients wonder – what should I look for in a criminal defense attorney? Of course, you want a lawyer who is experienced and has a good reputation in the community. But ultimately, you want a lawyer that you trust. You want someone with whom you feel comfortable.
Here at Ferguson Hill Filous, we like to focus on Client-Centered representation. But what does Client-Centered Representation mean?
Clients Need A Lawyer Who:

- Listens to them and represents them with compassion, dignity and respect.

- Makes sure the client’s privacy is respected. Ensures the confidential nature of the client-attorney relationship is protected.
- Communicates with the client through client meetings, phone calls, and letters. Takes the time to advise and explain with understanding and respect.
- With the client’s permission, listens to and communicates with the client’s family.
- Pursues investigation of the facts of the case.
- Thoroughly and carefully reads all documents, provides the client with copies, and discusses them with the client.
- Knows the law and investigates the facts, and applies both creatively and competently.
- Aggressively seeks resources, such as interpreters, experts, and investigators, necessary for effective representation.
