WHAT TO DO WHEN CHARGED WITH FIRST DEGREE MURDER
The best-case scenario when dealing with homicide/murder charges is to hire an attorney that you have carefully chosen. The lawyer you choose should have defended multiple clients accused of homicide/murder. If you are arrested for homicide/murder before you have a lawyer, immediately inform the police that you will be seeking the advice of an attorney and cannot speak to them without an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, tell the police that you will need a court-appointed attorney.
Lastly, make sure you hire an attorney you feel comfortable with. The last thing you need at a time like this is a lawyer who is not compatible with you.
SELECTING AN ATTORNEY FOR YOUR MURDER CASE
The attorney you select for your first-degree murder case should have handled numerous murder cases. Do not choose a lawyer who has only handled one or two homicide cases. Ask any attorney you speak with about their experience in defending clients charged with murder.
There are some very talented attorneys who only have a few years of experience. Never under estimate the value of experience. Why? In a few years of practicing criminal law, a criminal attorney has not been up against many judges and prosecutors. Experienced attorneys know the drill of each individual court and have insight into how particular judges work. There are things an attorney cannot learn in law school. Some skills can only be acquired by practicing law in the real world.
Experience is not the only criterion to look for when you hire an attorney.An attorney with trial experience is needed. Not one, two or three trials -- many trials. Many criminal cases settle with plea agreements, but your case may go to trial. Select a lawyer with exceptional negotiating skills and proven success at trial./p>
