Searching online for a criminal defence lawyer.

Search engines try to display the most relevant search results. They look for pages that provide you with legitimate information (in this case, criminal defence lawyers) that meets your search criteria. We optimize each of our criminal law pages to provide you with the information you're looking for. If you don't see what you're looking for on one of our pages, try this:

• Pick a search engine (such as google) to conduct your search.
• Try keying in your specific location (such as "Toronto" or "Vancouver").
• Type in what you're looking for (such as "criminal defence lawyer").
• Try using a phrase (such as "Can a criminal defence lawyer really help me?").

Take a look at the search results. Poke around a bit, and see who's out there. The nice thing about the Web is that you can learn a lot without leaving home.

What to look for in a criminal defence lawyer.

From a lawyer's website, you should be able to answer the following questions:

• How long have they been practicing law?
• How much of their practice is devoted to criminal defence?
• What is their success rate on criminal defence?
• What do they charge? Do they offer a free consultation?
• What are some of their clients saying about them?

Take out a pen and paper and jot down some notes as you read through different sites. Compare lawyers and get a feel for who you'd like to call. Then call, and get the information you need about your specific criminal law case.

What if I can't find a criminal defence lawyer online?

If you don't find what you're looking for online, call your provincial law society. They each have a lawyer referral program and can refer you to the nearest lawyer who practices law relevant to your situation.

Use your local phone directory.

Finally, if all else fails, check your local phone directory. You can learn who is practicing law in your area, but you won't get much other information about a lawyer from a phone book listing.

When you find a lawyer.

Once you've found a criminal defence lawyer, contact them and arrange to meet with them. Meeting in person is the best way to find out how a criminal defence lawyer can help you.
