Things to Look for When Selecting a Malicious Wounding Attorney: Part 1 - An Overview
Being charged with malicious wounding in Virginia is a frightening experience for several reasons, not least among them is the nature of the charge -- a felony -- and the maximum penalty upon conviction -- not less than 5, nor more than 20 years in prison.
The need for a lawyer experienced in handling malicious wounding cases is critical, beginning with the time of arrest and continuing through trial. In selecting the right lawyer for defending the charge, care should be given to ascertaining not only the lawyer's experience in handling such charges, but also how successful their former malicious wounding-charged clients have fared.
Whenever possible the choice of an attorney should not come down to a question of how much the lawyer charges, but how experienced and successful he or she has been in past cases of this sort.
To learn more, read the succeeding Parts of this narrative dealing with arrest and arraignment, bail, the preliminary hearing, and investigation and preparation of defenses.
