How to Choose a Criminal Law Lawyer in California

  • Check the license. Every attorney admitted in California can be looked up through the State Bar of California, together with any public discipline. Do it before the first meeting.
  • Ask about criminal law cases specifically. General practice is not the same as a track record in your type of matter: ask how many similar cases the lawyer handled recently and how they ended.
  • Local courts matter. Procedures, filing practice and judges differ from county to county even within California. Ask whether the lawyer regularly appears in the courts that will hear your case.
  • Get the fee agreement in writing. Hourly rate, flat fee or contingency, what counts as costs, and what happens if the case ends early — all of it should be on paper before work starts.
  • Compare several profiles. 419 criminal law attorneys in California are listed here, with the largest groups in Fresno, Los Angeles and Sacramento. Profiles carry direct contacts, so you can reach two or three of them without an intermediary.
