A qualified forgery lawyer should have a good reputation, specialize in forgery cases, have experience in the jurisdiction where the crime occurred, and provide references. Checking for any disciplinary actions and success rates is also important.
A forgery lawyer should have a good reputation. This means that the attorney should be willing to provide references and should not have any disciplinary actions registered with their state bar association. Additionally, a qualified forgery attorney should have a good acquittal-to-conviction ratio and have a track record of sub-par jail time for his clients who have been found guilty. The attorney also should not only specialize in forgery cases, but should have experience adjudicating cases in the jurisdiction where the alleged crime occurred.
It is important for a person accused of forgery to not only get a lawyer who knows the law, but also a lawyer who knows the law of forgery inside and out. An attorney who specializes in civil litigation or another aspect of the law may not have experience in infringement law and therefore could jeopardize your case. Experience in counterfeiting law should be a critical factor in hiring a lawyer.
Additionally, a qualified forgery attorney should not only be experienced in the practice of forgery law, but in the practice of the law in the jurisdiction where the offense was allegedly committed. This means that the forgery lawyer will know the personalities of the judicial personnel involved. Also, the attorney will be more likely to know what arguments a particular judge will and will not appeal to.
Reputable attorneys should be willing to provide references. The person who is interviewing the attorney should reach out to these references, knowing that the references are likely to have good things to say about the attorney. If an attorney is unwilling to provide references, it could be new, which means he’s inexperienced, or it could mean he’s disreputable.
In addition to checking the references provided by the counterfeiting attorney, the defendant should check with the state bar association to see if any disciplinary action has been taken against the attorney. State bar associations not only issue licenses to attorneys practicing in their states, but they investigate complaints against members of the attorneys. If the forgery attorney has been sanctioned by the bar association, the attorney may not be the best choice.
When looking for a fake lawyer, you should inquire about his success rate, which is a measure of acquittals versus convictions in cases he has handled. Also, regardless of whether clients were found guilty in court or whether the cases were subject to a plea deal, the amount of time clients were incarcerated would ideally be less than the average time spent on a similar case. This reflects not only on the counterfeiting attorney’s legal expertise and experience, but it reflects on the attorney’s knowledge of court personnel in the local jurisdiction.
