Personal Injury/Wrongful Death:
People sometimes ask why it might be more effective to have an attorney who handles criminal defense and who has a prosecutor's background represent them in a personal injury or wrongful death case. The answer may not be obvious for those that don't find themselves in court frequently. The truth is that criminal defense lawyers and prosecutors are in court much more and have significantly more trial experience than most attorneys who just handle personal injury cases.
