Effective and Affordable Criminal Defense Attorney
At LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C., we pride ourselves on providing the best possible value to our clients while, at the same time, delivering the highest level of legal defense available in Michigan.
Affordable does not mean cheap; it means a fair price for top-quality criminal defense.
As with almost every profession, criminal defense attorneys in Michigan come in various price ranges. Similarly, they also come in a vast range of quality and effectiveness. Unfortunately, for the prospective client charged with a felony or misdemeanor and needing emergency help, it is tough to know what lawyer is the best for them and charges a fair and reasonable fee. Often, the best fit for a client is not a lawyer who is the most expensive and is virtually never the least expensive. Finding an effective and affordable criminal defense attorney is possible, but you should not trust your fate to the lowest bidder.
How do you know if a lawyer charges a fair and reasonable fee?
The Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct (MRPC) guide attorney fees. These rules provide that a lawyer’s fee must be “reasonable.” Factors determining what is “reasonable” include the relative complexity of the case, the specialized nature of the matter, the lawyer’s training and experience in the field, the preparation and attention the lawyer can give the matter, and the time commitment that will likely be necessary to handle the case. Other factors include:
- the time and labor required, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved, and the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly,
- the likelihood, if apparent to the client, that the acceptance of the particular employment will preclude other employment by the lawyer,
- the time limitations imposed by the client or by the circumstances,
- the experience, reputation, and ability of the lawyer or lawyers performing the services, and
- the most effective representation at the most affordable price
Evaluating Affordable Criminal Defense Lawyers
A person who does not have the money to hire an affordable criminal defense attorney can request court-appointed counsel. The drawback to a court-appointed lawyer is that a judge will pick your lawyer, not you. You have the right to an appointed attorney if you are indigent, but not an attorney of your choice. The quality and experience of the lawyer chosen by the court to represent the luck of the draw will determine your fate.
To ensure you have an attorney who charges a reasonable fee, who will faithfully defend and protect you, and who has a successful track record in court, you will have to hire a retained criminal defense attorney within the limits of your budget. Researching lawyers online and researching an attorney’s online ratings is the best way to start your search. If you are referred to a lawyer, take the time to do a little research on the internet to confirm the lawyer has a stellar reputation. Do not trust your fate to the lowest bidder. Hiring the right lawyer can be one of the best investments you ever make.
