That is why I wrote How to Choose a Major Crimes Attorney. This no-nonsense legal guide is designed to be read in a single sitting. As a result, it gives you the clarity and confidence you need to choose a capable criminal defense attorney—especially when you are facing the overwhelming stress of a serious criminal charge.

What You’ll Discover Inside This Essential Guide
How to Identify a True Trial Lawyer
Many attorneys call themselves trial lawyers, but few actually try cases. Consequently, you will learn how to tell whether a criminal defense attorney is a true trial lawyer—or merely a marketer who settles cases to avoid the courtroom.
How to Avoid High-Volume Law Firm Traps
Some firms sign up hundreds of clients and then process them like products on an assembly line. As a result, individual attention suffers. You will discover the common traps these high-volume law firms use—and how to avoid them before it is too late.
The Questions You Must Ask Before Hiring
Knowing what questions to ask can reveal whether an attorney is right for your case. Therefore, this guide provides the crucial questions you should ask before hiring a lawyer to protect your freedom and your future.
Why Experience Matters More Than Advertising
Appearing at the top of search results does not mean an attorney wins cases. Instead, courtroom experience consistently matters more than paid advertising or polished websites. You will understand why—and how to evaluate an attorney’s actual trial record.
How Expert Witnesses Change Outcomes
In serious cases, expert witnesses can make the difference between conviction and acquittal. Consequently, you will learn how expert witnesses, thorough preparation, and strategic planning can combine to dramatically change the outcome of your case.

Why This Guide Matters

If you or someone you love is under investigation or already facing criminal charges in Tampa, Hillsborough County, or anywhere in Florida, this may be the most important resource you read before choosing legal representation. After all, your first decision in a criminal case often determines how the rest of it unfolds.
| The Wrong Attorney Can Cost You Everything Your freedom. Your career. Your family. Your future. Do not make the most important decision of your life based on who appears first in your search results. |
