Defendants in criminal cases have the right to representation by an attorney at all stages of prosecution. If the person charged with violating a federal criminal statute is unable to pay for the services of a defense attorney, public defender bears the responsibility for representing indigent defendants. Though most defendants are probably no better off with a private attorney than with a public defender, it still makes sense for a person with a lot of money to hire a private attorney. It’s because a public defender can therefore rarely spend as much time on your case as a private attorney.
If you’re facing federal criminal charges, and have enough money, consider to hire private federal attorney. There are many methods to find an experienced federal attorney that can protect your rights. Your city, county, and state bar association may have helpful referral services. After you get name of attorney, make an appointment for personal interview. Because there’s no guarantee that an attorney who works well with one client will work equally well with another, even a strong recommendation from a trusted friend is not a substitute for a personal consultation.
