She has got what it takes to defend you, contact Ms. Samson now.
Skill #1 – A Proven Track Record
Finding a defense attorney is not difficult, but finding a defense attorney who knows the ins and outs of DWI defense takes a bit more effort. Judith Samson, Attorney at Law, has years of experience under her belt and has significant experience and knowledge of Minnesota DWI laws. But there is more to a DWI case than knowing the law.
A lawyer defending a DWI case must also:
- Patiently listen to the client
- Remain empathetic to the client’s situation, but know when to detach for the client’s best interest
- Have the courage to face morally ambiguous terrain, if necessary
Skill #2 – Providing Full-Service Representation
A DWI defense attorney must be capable of:
- Connecting with a client 24-hours a day
- Offering clients the documentation and paperwork necessary for their cases
- Understanding and utilizing negotiation tactics
- Always returning calls
- Working diligently and in a timely fashion for the resolution of the client’s case
- Treating clients with respect
- Regularly communicating with clients
- Having relationships with their clients based on trust
- Showing compassion
Skill #3 – Maintaining Relationships with Prosecutors
Specific individuals are “repeat players” in the criminal justice system. A defense attorney is likely to see the same judge, prosecutors, and others repeatedly during their careers. Developing a positive working relationship with these players is vital. Keeping a professional friendship going with these players benefits everyone.
Clients do not want to feel their attorney is too familiar with other persons in the courtroom, but they don’t want to feel hatred among the attorneys, judge, or witnesses.
Skill #4 – Collecting “Discovery”
An outstanding defense attorney investigates the allegations against his or her client by:
- Requiring the prosecutor to turn over information concerning the case
- Collecting records
- Visiting the (alleged) crime scene
- Hiring experts
- Talking to witnesses
- Serving subpoenas, etc.
Skill #5 – Intuition
According to an American Bar Association article about a survey created by University of Missouri at Kansas City law professors Nancy Levit and Douglas O. Linder, after their book, The Happy Lawyer, was published, they discovered that:
- Female lawyers are better at assessing the emotional states of others.
- Female lawyers listen more intently.
- Women score higher on tests of empathy.
- Females identify emotional states from clues.
- Women interrupt less frequently.
All of these skills are beneficial in the field of law.
Skill #6 – Reasoning and Logical Thinking
Only years of experience develop these two characteristics in lawyers. Evaluating and creating arguments is at the heart of being a lawyer or a judge. Attorneys need to understand the principles of logic used in legal reasoning and judicial decision-making.
Judith A. Samson, Attorney at Law, knows this to be true.
