FINDING THE BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN TAMPA BAY: What Qualities & Qualifications to find when Seeking the Best Attorney for your case.

Finding the best attorney to defend your rights is the most important decison you'll initially make. Here are the significant qualities and qualifications I would seek in a criminal law attorney.

First, find an attorney who has one field of practice - criminal law. The criminal law in Florida is very complex with new laws constantly being added to the books even while courts reinterpret the older laws already on the books based on changing facts and changing notions of justice. You want your attorney to have a complete understanding and knowledge not only of new laws but of how the Courts are using new facts to interpret laws, because the attorneys who anticipate future changes in the law are the ones who persuade judges to change unjust applications of laws as unconstitutional. One way to assure yourself of your lawyer's competetive edge is to read the lawyers' blog which will take you directly into your attorney's mind....Robert Hambrick's blog is read not only by his clients, but by members of the judiciary and by other attorneys in the field of criminal law who might otherwise miss important new changes in the law.

Second, find out how much actual Tampa Bay Criminal Justice knowledge the attorney has. You want to find a crime lawyer with many years of experience who knows the Tampa Bay Criminal Justice System, who has had many criminal trials, an excellent seasoned advocate who has dealt with many different Tampa Bay judges and prosecutors, who knows the reputations of each Tampa Bay law enforcement agency and the officers themselves, who has seen every charged Pinellas and Hillsborough offense and dealt with many different cases, varieties of evience, expert witnesses gaining more knowledge with every case handled, a strategic minded lawyer who knows the local system and the best possible solutions for your Tampa Bay case.

Third, look at the significant complex criminal cases the criminal lawyer has actually taken to trial. Many lawyers make money by having their clients plead guilty in every case thereby reducing the amount of time spent with the client, the time completing proper discovery of incriminating evidence and doing aggressive investigations for the client's defense -- no need to even find every fact of the case that helps the client, no need to write lengthy motions to have the criminal charges dismissed because of police misbehavior, improper evidence gathering, prosecutorial misconduct or jurisdictional issues. Ask every potential lawyer this: when was the last time you had a criminal trial and what was the verdict. Lawyers who have gone to trial with important difficult cases gain respect from prosecutors, judges and the legal community; this respect translates into significant tactical advantages in dealing within the system for better plea agreements, because if every case was taken to trial the system would fail. Therefore, you want to find an excellent criminal attorney with a reputation for going to trial to defend you even if you have no plans to go to trial in your paticular case, because any offers for a plea are apt to be better if your attorney has proven skill and excellence at triall.

Fourth, look at the education of the attorney. Where did the attorney attend Law Schoo? Did the attorne attend a nationally ranked and recognised University? Robert Hambrick graduated from Emory University Law School, wiith a focus on litigation. Emory produces graduates with highly regarded trial skills and is noted as one of the best Law Schools in the South as well as one of the most prestigious and rigourous academic universities in the United States. Your life, your future, your livelihood -- Isn't finding the best educated Attorney the best asset you can have in your defense?

Fifth, look at the ethical standards of the attorney - has he ever had a Florida Bar Complaint filed against him by a client. If he has mistreated or had 'misunderstandings' with his other clients isn't it reasonable to assume he may with you? Ask if The Florida Bar which regulates Florida Lawyer Misconduct has ever received a filed greivance against the attorney. Ask if at any time during his practice of law any clients have ever complained about the attorney to the Florida Bar. If so, then the attorney should explain to you exactly what happened and why it will never happen again. Be sure to ask each and every attorney you speak with how man bar complaints have been filed against him, the results and why.... When you ask Clearwater Criminal Defense Lawyer Robert Hambrick you'll find that he has never had a client file a complaint against him in nearly thirty years of practicing law - something very few attorneys can state.

Sixth, most importantly - find a criminal lawyer who enjoys his work because he believes in what he is doing wanting to make a real difference in people's lives by defending them from the over reach of law enforcement, improper investigations, misguided prosecutions, unjust laws and unjust application of laws. Find an attorney who believes that the legal system all too often has unjust results. Find an attorney who strives for Justice. Find a hard working Pinellas Criminal Defense Attorney like Robert Hambrick who cares enough about you to do his best to help you, guiding you confidently thru the criminal justice system understanding that you are not just another case, but a person, someone who needs his full attention, understanding and help.

You want to find that one rare lawyer who really cares, who has a strong mind, a great heart, true faith and ready hands, someone not afraid to stand up to the ciminal justice system when the system is wrong, some one who will stand up for your rights and never stop fighting for you.

You'll find that Robert Hambrick has written a number of legal guides, answered legal questions and written about new cases, prosecutorial misconduct, law enforcement improprieties as well as receent Court decisions. If an attorney really cares about Justice why would he not want to share his knowledge with everyone - even those who have not hired him?
