What Type of Attorney Do You Need?

August 20, 2019

When you are facing any type of criminal charges, you should have an attorney working with you on your side to help you through the proceedings. While no lawyer can guarantee that you will not face consequences if you are proven guilty, working with an attorney gives you the best chance of coming through your case or investigation without lasting charges or convictions. Just as important as having an attorney, it is important that you have the right attorney. So what type of attorney do you need?

Specialization

There are a lot of general practice attorneys out there that will take just about any case that is presented to them. These attorneys may have a general understanding of the law when it comes to white collar crimes, but they will not be experts. This can cause some problems with your case, or it may cause your attorney to not be as effective as you need them to be. It is important that you choose an attorney that specializes in white collar crimes.

Experienced

Even attorneys that specialize in white collar crimes may not be up to the task of your case. If your case is complicated, or if there are indications that you could be facing more than one charge, you need to make sure that the attorney you hire is able to handle all aspects of your case. Hiring an attorney or firm that has extensive experience in the defense of white collar crimes is your best chance of avoiding hefty fines and potential jail time.

Financially Available

Hiring an attorney can cost quite a bit of money, but it is an investment in yourself and your future that you should not ignore. It is a good idea, however, to find an attorney that is financially available, meaning that their fees are reasonable or average for the field, and they may be able to work with you on payment of fees. While defending against white collar crime can be expensive, legal representation should also be attainable.

Our Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.

I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.

As always, you (and BK) are rockstars! I couldn't be more grateful to have you both on my side. I appreciate all that you both do.

You are amazing! Thank you so much! I’ll give you a 5-star review, you’re the best!
