Ah, I did not think of that. Thank you. I mean, seriously. Thank you so much for contributing here--it's appreciated deeply.

I'm of the opinion that people should have a good criminal defense attorney's number on hand, in case the need ever arises.

How do you go about finding a criminal defense lawyer that is exceptional? How would YOU go about finding a good attorney to defend you if you suddenly found yourself in trouble in a new, unfamiliar city?

Is that really a good metric? I mean, presumably what we're doing when we assess by our gut is judge how good a salesman that person is, right?

Are there other metrics that distinguish an exceptional criminal attorney from others? Maybe a certification or clerkship or something like that?
