Minneapolis, MN criminal defense attorney Ryan Garry talks about how to find the right criminal defense lawyer to handle your case. He recommends anyone facing criminal charges to exercise due diligence when selecting a defense attorney. Prospective clients should ask how many trials the attorney has handled and whether the attorney is board-certified by the Minnesota State Bar Association—a distinction held by only the top three percent of criminal defense lawyers in the state. It is also important to assess whether the attorney demonstrates genuine dedication to the case rather than simply seeking a retainer. Finally, he stresses the value of choosing counsel with significant experience in both serious state and federal criminal matters, ensuring the client can feel confident in their representation.
