A Guide to Search Results for "Criminal Defense Lawyers"

help - feedback - sponsor this guide

The search term "criminal defense lawyers" is typically used by people who are in trouble with the law and do, in fact, need a criminal defense lawyer to help them deal with that trouble. As a general rule, the practice of criminal law is limited to the particular jurisdiction or jurisdictions where an attorney is licensed to practice. However, certification of criminal law specialization is not a requirement to practice criminal law, and there is seldom any inquiry into the relevant qualifications of a lawyer before he or she is allowed to represent people who have been contacted by law enforcement authorities and/or represent people who stand accused of a crime. Even so, when a court assigns counsel to an indigent criminal defendant, there may actually be an inquiry into the relevant qualifications of the lawyers who are considered by the court. Moreover, many jurisdictions do certify lawyers as specialists in criminal defense, and there are many well-respected organizations that engage in the painstaking evaluation of the credentials of criminal defense lawyers.
