The Cost of Good Defense

August 3, 2021
Why are good attorneys so expensive? You may have wondered this if you’ve ever been in the position of hiring someone to represent you. If you are currently looking to hire an attorney, you may be wondering if the expense is worth it. Whatever the case may be, we hope the following will shed some light on exactly why attorneys cost what they do.

  •  Education
Attorneys must complete three years of law school in addition to four years of undergraduate education. Some may also have specialized degrees in a particular area of the law. This all represents considerable time and money in preparation for a career of tirelessly advocating for clients. 
  • Expertise 
There are certain skills that just can’t be taught in a classroom. Through their years of practice, attorneys learn valuable information about the courts they work in. This can include the most effective way to phrase a motion or how best to persuade a jury, and it all comes back to serve you in the form of excellent representation. 
  •  Teamwork
Many attorneys work with other dedicated and talented professionals to ensure that your case is resolved smoothly and in a timely manner. Paralegals, legal assistants, and administrative professionals may play a role in meeting filing deadlines, managing communication, gathering information relevant to your case, and more. Each of these individuals has their own education and professional background, and the result is a team of people dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for you.

Hiring a criminal defense attorney is an investment in your freedom and the adequate protection of your rights. Call Christopher Bucio of Bradley & Associates at 937-461-1212 for a free consultation.

Mr. Bucio has spent the last several months side by side his client in Miami County who was being charged with four (4) Felony One Rape, Felony Two Robbery, Felony Three Strangulation, Felony Three Abduction. Facing up to over 40 years in Prison. After spending half of this year working diligently, overnight, nonstop in an effort to prove our clients innocence Mr. Bucio did just that. After declining every plea offer that came our clients way, Mr. Bucio knew his client’s innocence would prevail above all. In the end Mr. Bucio was able to demonstrate that the allegations of Sexual Assault and Domestic Abuse were unfounded. Having an experienced attorney by your side makes all the difference in a criminal matter. While other attorneys would have sought negotiated plea deal in this matter Mr. Bucio aligns his goals in each case the same as the clients. We are happy to announce that this case has been closed and all the charges were dismissed.
