When you, or a loved one, are arrested, it is a very
unnerving experience. Many times, the law is counter-intuitive to those that do
not possess legal experience and knowledge. Therefore, no matter what the issue
is, it is best to retain an attorney to help guide you through the case,
protect your rights, and fight with all their being to defend you.
Now, there are many attorneys out there that claim to be the
best one to help you in your time of need. However, which one is the best for
you and your particular circumstances? Every case is truly unique. So is every
client. Therefore, you must be sure that you are satisfied with two elements
before putting your future, and your freedom, in someone's hands.
First and foremost, the attorney must be capable and
qualified to properly handle the representation. There are a lot of factors in
deciding who is ready to properly handle your case.
- What
kinds of cases have they handled in the past?
- How
well do they know the court where the case is being held?
- Are
they comfortable in the courtroom?
- More
importantly, are they confident in their ability to handle a trial?
Yes, it is true that most cases resolve themselves by way of
a plea or some type of agreed to resolution. Yet, you have a Constitutional
Right to have your matter heard in all circumstances that jail is a possibility
by a jury of your peers.
Secondly, you must have a good rapport with your attorney.
Yes, there are capable attorneys out there, but do you feel comfortable with
them? If you do not feel that they are interested in your particular situation,
how are you going to trust the advice that they give you in your most important
of affairs?
Many clients get frustrated that their attorneys are not
spending the time necessary with them so that they fully understand all that is
going on and the potential ramifications their case could have on their life.
Nothing can substitute the face to face preparation of getting ready for a
trial. If your case is getting ready for trial you must/will be spending a lot
time with your attorney reviewing strategies, witnesses, and potentially your
own testimony. Those experiences are long, focused, and intense. You need to be
able to work with your attorney on a level that can get the proper results that
you deserve.
At Christopher G.
Thomarios, Esq. LLC, my clients' level of comfort with the legal process
and with my representation is one of the most important parts of my legal
assistance. I recognize that my client's livelihood and freedom is on the line,
which is why I take cases just as seriously as those facing the arrest. My
personalized service cannot be found at larger firms. In every case that I
handle, I approach it with a fresh perspective to build the case up from
scratch. My firm uses this approach because no two cases are the same and they
therefore cannot be handled in the same manner.
