Attorney Michael Bradley Shares His Thoughts On Retaining Counsel for A Criminal Case in Louisiana
Michigan, US, 19th July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, According to Louisiana attorney Michael Bradley, facing criminal charges is one of the most overwhelming experiences a person can endure. Whether you are dealing with a misdemeanor or a serious felony, he says, your future often hinges on the lawyer you choose to represent you."Not all attorneys are built for criminal defense," says Bradley, who has practiced law across Louisiana for nearly two decades. "Choosing the right defense lawyer is not just a box to check. It's a decision that can change the direction of your life."
Bradley emphasizes that experience in criminal defense should be the first and most important factor. "You need someone who lives and breathes criminal law," he explains. "This is a field that requires constant courtroom time, up-to-date knowledge of the criminal code, and the skill to navigate fast-moving cases. A general practice lawyer might not have the depth needed when your freedom is at stake."
Local knowledge also plays a significant role. Bradley points out that Louisiana operates under a civil law tradition, which makes it different from the rest of the country. "The way we do things in this state, especially at the parish level, is unique," he says. "You want someone who understands how your local courthouse works, knows the prosecutors and judges, and can anticipate how a case will be handled in that environment."
Bradley adds that reputation matters in the legal community and with past clients. "When someone walks into court, their name carries weight. Judges and prosecutors often know which lawyers are prepared and credible. That makes a difference in plea negotiations, bond hearings, and even trial strategy," he says. He also encourages prospective clients to read reviews and ask others about their experience. "What former clients say can reveal much about how the lawyer communicates, responds to stress, and treats people."
Clear communication, Bradley says, is a non-negotiable. "You need a lawyer who tells you the truth, even when it's hard to hear. They should be accessible, responsive, and explain the law in a way that makes sense," he advises. "If an attorney brushes off your concerns or avoids your questions during the consultation, that's a red flag."
Bradley encourages clients to go beyond asking about win rates when discussing legal strategy. "You want to understand how the lawyer thinks," he says. "Ask how they would approach your case. Are they focused on dismissals, plea bargains, or trial preparation? Do they see weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence? A thoughtful lawyer will have a plan and walk you through it."
Attorney Michael Bradley also urges people to ask about fees with clarity and confidence. "This is your money and your future," he says. "A reputable lawyer should explain what their fees include, how payment works, and what to expect financially as the case moves forward. Avoid anyone who's vague or evasive about costs."
Importantly, Bradley believes that clients should trust their instincts. "After your consultation, ask yourself, do I trust this person to stand next to me in court? Do they seem focused, prepared, and genuinely concerned about my situation? That gut feeling matters more than people realize," he explains.
Finally, Bradley warns against delaying the decision to hire counsel. "Time is critical," he says. "The earlier a lawyer is brought in, the more they can do, whether preserving evidence, protecting your rights during questioning, or filing early motions that can change the outcome of the case. Waiting too long can mean missed opportunities."
Bradley reminds people that a criminal charge doesn't define a person, but the legal process that follows can. "You deserve a defense that treats you with dignity and takes your case seriously," he says. "Whether you're looking at a first-time offense or a serious allegation, the right lawyer will not only defend your rights, they'll fight to restore your future."
