What Doesn’t Work: Fighting a jaywalking ticket by quoting the bible, using bomb threats, threatening a hunger strike, citing the Constitution, or having your mother call in.
What Works: Get a second legal opinion. If you are looking for a criminal attorney, you should always call at least two attorneys to hear what they have to say. Just like with doctors, different attorneys may have different opinions on how to handle your criminal case. If you need to hire a criminal lawyer, choose one you feel you can trust to protect your freedom.
