Hiring a Lawyer: What Are Some Questions to Ask when Looking for a Defense Law Firm

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arizona

Much like any other state, there are standard questions that any person looking to hire a defense law firm should ask. We have compiled a list of what we feel are the most important.

Q: Does the Law Firm sell its cases to other attorneys and call them “Of Counsel”?

Q: Is the Law Firm named after a Certified Criminal Law Specialist as designated by the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization?

Q: How many Certified Criminal Law Specialists are at the firm?

Q: When you’re finding a lawyer, be sure to ask if the Law Firm AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell?

Q: When you’re finding an attorney, be sure to ask is the Law Firm listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers?

Q: Is the Law Firm’s named partner listed in the Southwest SuperLawyers Publication?

Q: Is the Law Firm’s named partner listed in the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in Arizona by the American Association of Trial Lawyers?

Q: Does the Law Firm go to Jury Trial regularly (and win)?

If you go to www.dmcantor.com and click on Jury Trial Victories, you will see over 145 of our Complete Acquittals (i.e. not guilty – All charges) listed with dates and courts. No other Arizona Law Firm lists more than 22 Complete Acquittals on their website (Web Results as of Jan 1, 2019).

“Dismissed” and “Reduced Charge” claims are not the same as a Jury saying “Not Guilty – All Charges!” Some lawyers can occasionally receive dismissals and charge reductions (we have thousands), but very few can regularly achieve Complete Acquittals!

When you’re finding a lawyer, be sure to ask the Law Firm how many Jury Trials have resulted in Complete Acquittals since the Law Firm was formed.

When you’re finding an attorney, be sure to ask the Law Firm to list their last 10 Jury Trial Victories (i.e. Complete Acquittals) with dates.

This should be listed on their website.
If not, then why not?


Q: Did the Jury Trial Victories which a Law Firm claims actually occur while the winning lawyer was employed by that Law Firm – or did they occur while the lawyer was employed elsewhere?
