1. Understand that you are hiring a private attorney. Free criminal attorneys are public defenders they are provided by the state. If you want to hire your owner private criminal attorney you have to pay for that professionals time.
2. Make sure the attorney has experience with your type of case. Misdemeanor, Felony, Juvenile Court, Military Court & Federal Court are very different. A criminal lawyer referral service can help with this or you can ask directly.
3. Make sure you feel comfortable with the attorney. Make sure they know your goals and limits.

Most public defenders are too busy for this, but private attorneys can be very helpful here.
