Before you hire an attorney ask him what he thinks his odds are of getting you out of trouble. Also an attorney who has previously worked in the D.A.’s office is more likely to have sway with getting things dropped and also better at making deals.
How many cases, what type of cases, what is his success ratio.
would you be prepared to defend me on a no win no pay system ?
One question andone only: "What is the best deal you are prepared to get me." Price, time, etc, is unimportant. I am curious, though, why do the crime if you aren’t prepared to do the time?

1) The attorney should be experienced in your defending clients with your type of crime. If you got a DUI, a DUI attorney would make sense.
2) Determine the workload and support staff of the attorney. An over-burdened attorney that just wants your retainer fee can end up costing you your freedom, literally.
3) Research your violation and court outcomes that are favorable to you. See if your attorney thinks along the same lines as the attorneys in those winning cases did.
4) Ask the clerks of the courts if they have a favorite attorney. Efficient work usually wins the heart of a court clerk.
