What does a criminal defense lawyer do?
Criminal defense lawyers represent people who are under investigation or have been charged with a crime, from DUI and drug charges to theft, assault and felonies. They advise on your rights during questioning, negotiate with prosecutors, handle bail and court appearances, and defend you at trial. Talking to one before you speak with the police is usually wise.
Before you hire a criminal defense lawyer in Hawaii
- Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the Hawaii state bar.
- Ask how long they have handled criminal defense matters and how often they go to court.
- Ask how fees work: hourly, flat fee or contingency, and what costs are extra.
- Ask who will handle your case day to day and how you will get updates.
- Get the fee agreement in writing before any work begins.
