does anyone know?what are there duties? what should i make sure i know from the court appointed attorney? is is true some are not experienced?How good are court appointed attorneys for federal cases?
They are often quite good -- especially where the system is that there is a professional corps of public defenders. In some places, there are problems where inexperienced people take on criminal defense for the money -- so I'd just ask about the amount of experience your lawyer has in both the type of case your husband has, and the court inn which it is occurring. It would also be good to know how much experience your appointed attorney has with the other side.
But you should not go in thinking a court-appointed attorney is necessarily a bad attorney. Not at all.How good are court appointed attorneys for federal cases?
They are surprisingly good. In my view, generally above average in the court where they work. Of course there are poor ones %26amp; good ones %26amp; experienced ones %26amp; inexperienced ones. But they all have some experience %26amp; even those with relatively little work with others who have more. Anyway, you'd be surprised at how little experience in Federal Court many private attorneys have.
I didn't have a federal case, but I had two different court-appointed attorneys and both were good. One was new but she tried very hard and got results nevertheless!
