The 6 Worst Mistakes You Can Make Hiring A Defense Attorney

In the 30 years that I have been an attorney, I have seen firsthand the mistakes that clients routinely make when deciding who they should hire to represent them or their loved ones who are charged with crimes.

  • The majority of prospective clients have never been in trouble before and don’t have a grasp of the criminal justice system.
  • Their nervousness about “being in trouble” leads them to choose an attorney who generally is overworked and unable to focus on their specific case.
  • Over time, I have seen prospective clients choose the wrong attorney for the wrong reason. Oftentimes, a client will decline to retain me, only to return six months later telling me that exactly what I had originally said is coming to pass.

There are general “themes” when the client returns to my office and what follows are the 6 most common “themes” that seem to happen when they hired the wrong attorney.

John Stobbs, Criminal Defense Attorney

My Promise to You

"I'm not afraid to go to trial. I have successfully fought the government in trial and won acquittals in federal criminal jury trials. I fight hard for all of my clients. I fight hard to get good deals for my clients even if that means going to trial. The prosecutors know who the plea bargain lawyers are and the attorneys who fight hard for their clients! The prosecutors will always give better deals to the attorneys who fight hard for their clients.

When you hire John Stobbs, you hire ME! I do all the work for your case - not a paralegal or an associate."
