A good defense lawyer knows the law.
A great defense lawyer knows the judge.
This is the right answer.
How can you telll the difference between a good defence lawyer and a bad one?
Are you posting this from jail?
- Win/loss ratio
- amount of cases settled vs gone to trial
- willingness to take on difficult cases/ability to win them
- word of mouth from former clients
- ability to listen properly to clients but also professionally call them on their bullshit when applicable
- how much and why prosecutors dislike them
- whether or not they’re licensed to practice
IANAL* and it’s in no particular order, but that should be a pretty good checklist afaik 🤷🏻
*the abbreviation of “I am not a lawyer” as well as the best Isaac Asimov porn parody never made.

Are his pants on fire? Likely a good lawyer then.
If he wears a red and white striped club tie in a half-windsor knot, he’s awful.
What if they’re not wearing a tie at all?
gasp
