What to Look for in a Shelby County Criminal Defense Lawyer

While you have your choice of criminal defense lawyers in Shelby County, they are not all equal. Some of the characteristics you should look for in the lawyer you choose are:

Experience 

You don’t want to trust your case to someone who is still learning the law. While these attorneys may be cheaper, you might wind up paying by being incarcerated or getting a harsher sentence than you would if you worked with a more seasoned attorney. Our attorneys have over a century of experience, which we leverage at every phase of your case.

Board Certification 

Board certification demonstrates a higher level of competence and trial experience. There are only five board-certified criminal trial specialists in Indiana, and four of them work at our firm. This unique characteristic sets us apart from every other criminal defense firm in the state. 

Focus

Our Shelby County criminal defense lawyers dedicate their lives and careers solely to criminal defense. We know the legal issues involved in our cases and how to craft persuasive legal arguments around them. 

Collaboration

At The Criminal Defense Team, you don’t get a single lawyer. You get two lawyers and a paralegal. Each of our attorneys has a unique background and contacts. We take advantage of these unique experiences by pairing every client with a dedicated legal team.

Local Lawyers

Some lawyers travel to handle cases, but they may not be familiar with local judges, prosecutors, and court personnel. It’s essential you work with a lawyer who knows how the particular court system works where your case is being handled since every court functions a little differently. 

Accessibility 

We understand that you are concerned about your case, which is why we are available to take your call 24/7 and promptly return all communications.
