Typically, a successful defense attorney with a proven track record will likely have a background in defense practices and theories. Be sure you find out how many cases the defense attorney and/or firm has handled, how many of these cases were settled versus how many went to trial, what were the results of each case, and if they intend to handle the case personally or 'refer it out' and get part of the fees in exchange.

Beyond these questions, be sure you understand how the process will work, what your role will be in terms of your requirements, what their strategy will be, and how you will communicate with the defense lawyer. Talking with more than one defense attorney about your case will give you perspective and a way of comparing your options. Again, the stakes can be high, both for you and your defense attorney, so do your 'due diligence' in finding the right one for you.
