First of all experience
For example, let's say that you were caught driving while drunk in Miami. You are most likely going to be needing a Miami drunk driving attorney with a lot of experience on the field. Therefore, the very first thing that you are going to have to do will be to check out every single previous case that particular attorney had. You will want to know whether that attorney had cases like yours in the past and if they did, exactly how deep those cases go.
For example, if you find out that, the attorney lost most of those cases then you might want to rethink your choice about hiring them. If however, they proved to be quite effective then you definitely need to think about hiring them. Which brings us to the very next step, finding out everything there is to know about them.
Second of all effectiveness
If they are not really good attorneys then, previous clients of theirs would most certainly have left comments somewhere in order for others to see them and simply never hire them again. You see people will leave negative comments but not so often positive ones. Therefore, if you want to figure out whether the attorney is good enough or not search for the negatives and not the positives.
If the attorney has a website make sure that you will pay a visit to that website. Check out every piece of information you can gather from that website including fees and rates that you will have to pay in order to hire that particular attorney. If you feel like, you have found the lawyer that is best for you then simply book an appointment, pay a visit to their office and talk to them about your problem. There you will be able to truly understand whether this lawyer is going to be able to help you or not.
