When you or someone you love is facing jail or prison time, choosing the right attorney is extremely important. Selecting such an attorney, however, can be difficult, especially in Prince William County, where there are hundreds of options. The attorney you choose should have experience and legal knowledge, but perhaps more importantly, your lawyer should be able to relate to you as a person. When your lawyer understands your background, values, and your culture, that attorney will be better equipped to customize a defense strategy to match your unique circumstances.
Here is an example of a celebrity who chose a lawyer who does not understand his background or culture.
