You may have messed up, or maybe you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. It can be scary to have to go before a judge. At that time in your life it is going to be absolutely critical that you have legal representation that is both competent and effective. You do not want to put your own future in the hands of somebody that is not experienced. Hopefully you have done your research and found a great criminal defense attorney. Now you just have to meet with the attorney, and that can cause a little bit of anxiety. Here are a few things to remember when meeting with your lawyer.
Bring All Documents
There is a good chance that you have a great deal of paperwork, and it is going to be very important that you bring any paperwork so the attorney can look it over. You may have documents from the court showing your charges and when your next court date will be. You will need to bring your bail papers, and also any other documents that you think may be important for the lawyer to review. This will give your attorney a little bit better idea of how to best represent you in your case.
Be Honest
There is a lot of truth that honesty is the best policy. Just because you may be guilty of an action does not necessarily mean that you are going to put behind bars. There are times when drastic actions can be justified, and your lawyer will know how to best represent you. So when your lawyer asks you what happened, make sure that you are as honest as you can be. Try to remember every detail, and try to remember feelings. Be as descriptive as possible but more than anything just make sure that you are honest.
Tell You Lawyer About You
Your lawyer is going to be trying to represent you in the court, but he can only represent you if he knows who you are. Make sure that you tell your lawyer about yourself. One of the most vital pieces of information that you can give your lawyer is your occupation. During this process you do not want to lose any licensing that you have. If your lawyer does not know what to protect in your life you may end up losing it. Going through a criminal case can be hard, you do not want to lose your job and livelihood.
