(a) whether criminal defense is the main business.
Criminal defense is a highly professional job, which requires lawyers not only to have a solid theoretical foundation of criminal law, but also to have meticulous logical thinking, keen insight, rich social experience, inferential understanding, and increasingly accumulated practical skills. Otherwise, they won't have a high degree of professional sensitivity, can't find the starting point of case defense, and accurately convey their defense ideas to the defendant, and the defendant can't respond skillfully through their defense work. It can be said that lawyers' interest and investment in the field of criminal defense will greatly enhance the breadth and depth of their thinking, enrich their thinking perspective of defense, and greatly stimulate their potential to learn and sum up experience, which is directly related to the success or failure of lawyers' defense. Therefore, lawyers who take criminal defense as their development direction have much stronger theoretical and practical operation ability than ordinary lawyers. I believe that in a word, there is specialization in the industry, and only professionalism can be trusted.
(2) Have you published any professional articles?
Lawyers publish professional articles in legal journals or newspapers, or publish monographs to explain their in-depth exploration and research in this field, which to some extent reflects his accumulation and precipitation of knowledge in this field, and some even establish his authority in this field through these theories. So it is feasible to examine his ability in this field according to his published articles.
(three) whether there have been successful cases of defense.
Excellent criminal defense lawyers can make full use of their flexible grasp of criminal law theory and rules. On the one hand, they disintegrate the evidence system of the public prosecution, blur the facts of the crime and weaken the accusation of the public prosecution against the defendant. On the other hand, through the loopholes in the existing evidence and the evidence collected by ourselves, the circumstances of the defendant being given a lighter punishment are strengthened, so as to persuade the judge to adopt his defense viewpoint. Lawyers with this quality can generally successfully defend criminal cases. On the other hand, it is also essential to examine their professionalism and handling skills through the cases they handle.
To sum up, I hope it will help you.
