Robert J. Fickman – The Right Texas Defense Attorney For You

Anyone facing criminal charges needs an attorney. After all, an experienced criminal defense lawyer may be all that stands between you and a prison sentence, heavy fines, or both. It is not enough to find an attorney. Finding the right lawyer to represent you is more important–a lawyer you can trust to get you the best possible outcome.

If you are not convinced that you need an attorney, here are some things to consider.

Only an experienced criminal defense attorney will have an understanding of the criminal justice system that you need to be successful. An experienced criminal defense lawyer, like Robert J. Fickman, knows how to evaluate the facts of a case. He knows how to defend you best. He knows how to pursue a dismissal of your case best. If your case must go to trial, he knows how to best prepare for trial and how to win at trial.

What should you look for in an attorney? Several things.

You should find someone with long ties to the jurisdiction in which you have been charged. This lawyer will know about local procedures and who is in the courthouse. They will know which judges and prosecutors are known for being harsh and unreasonable. They will also know which judges and prosecutors are willing to keep an open mind about each case.

Next, find an experienced criminal defense attorney with a good reputation and a history of success. Do not hire someone who practices criminal defense law part-time or on the side. You want someone who has dedicated their adult life to defending the liberty of those who are accused of criminal offenses. You can and should ask during an initial consultation about the specific experience of that attorney. If you are under investigation or charged with a Federal criminal offense, you want to ensure that the lawyer you hire is an experienced Federal criminal defense attorney. Not all criminal defense lawyers in State Court also practice in Federal Court. Robert J. Fickman has defended individuals in State and Federal court for almost four decades.

Finally, choose a lawyer with whom you feel comfortable. Does the lawyer take the time to answer your questions? Does the lawyer treat you in a mutually respectful manner? You must have a lawyer who speaks to you in a way that makes sense. Make sure you feel comfortable with your representation. You want an attorney who makes you feel like you are a part of the decision-making process in your case. Remember, you are not just a case file. You are a human being, and you deserve to have an attorney who will treat you mutually respectfully.
