  • Benavidez Law Group: Hiring a criminal defense attorney is different from hiring any other kind of attorney. The individual needing to hire a criminal defense attorney is someone facing criminal charges, often for the first time. That individual is often either in jail, or has been recently released from jail. In all criminal cases, that individual is facing the prospect of either jail or prison time. It is quite common for an individual facing criminal prosecution for the first time to be extraordinarily frightened. In order to properly retain a criminal defense attorney, an individual facing criminal prosecution should be well aware of the attorney's experience, reputation, and ability to spend the appropriate amount of time on his or her case.
