Out-of-State Attorneys Looking for a Local New York Criminal Defense Attorney for their Past or Current Client
It is very common for people who live out-of-state in places like New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and all the way down to Florida or across the country in places like California or Texas to get arrested in New York. Sometimes it happens while they are just visiting. Other times it happens after they move here permanently or while they are attending college in New York.
Regardless of what brought your client to New York, they might come to you asking for help finding a local criminal defense attorney in the NYC area who can help them with their case. If you don’t already have someone you know who can help, the Law Office of Michael J. McConnell is always available to step up to the plate.
New York Attorneys in Other Practice Areas Looking for a Criminal Defense Attorney for their Former or Current Client
Most clients who hire a lawyer do not always realize how unique and specialized certain practice areas are, which is why it is not at all uncommon for people to reach back out to their former personal injury lawyer or divorce attorney for help with a criminal case.
In other situations, there might be some overlap between what you are currently helping a client with and what a criminal defense attorney might a great resource for.
For example, someone might be accused of fraud in a workers’ compensation case and their workers’ compensation attorney might want to have them consult with a criminal defense lawyer.
