Anonymous #1 said: A defense or criminal lawyer? OK. Say I get accused yet it wasn't even me and can be proven? What kind of lawsuit would this be and who determines how much one can sue somebody.
Anonymous #2 said: it makes sense to have a criminal lawyer if its a crime, or a real estate lawyer for real estate, and entertainment lawyer if you're a band, etc. if its work issue like you indicated you will be able to get a free consult from a lawyer that handles that. if its a crime you have to pay for a good defense lawyer or take your chances with a public pretender
if you are falsely accused, and have proof pay a defense lawyer a retainer after consulting with him to discuss case specifics. then cooperate with law enforcement but never without your lawyer present, if what you say is true it should not even get to trial...a lawyer can charge as little as 500 on a retainer like that to meet with police, and you don't answer anything the lawyer says not to...this way you never incriminate yourself, and are still behaving as someone who is innocent should behave.
