Experience in Both Local and Federal Courts
Talk to your attorney about their experience defending clients at both the local and federal levels. Courtroom procedures vary at different levels, and you will want to be sure that your attorney knows the ins and outs, no matter where your trial takes place. You should also ask your attorney if they have experience in the courtroom that will handle your case.
