Bronx, NY asked in Criminal Law for New Jersey

Q: How can I look up lawyers in NJ that have good record? Also how can my fiance in Elizabeth NJ county request his lawyer?

My fiance has been sitting in jail for a year and half with no progress in his case. He hasn't spoke to his lawyer in 9 months not even an update or where they think the case is heading. Is this normal for criminal lawyers? How can I look up other lawyers and their reviews? I'm seeking help because I feel their injustice with him just sitting in jail.

A: Unfortunately we are not allowed to mention other sites on this sites but I am sure you know the major search engines, hint hint. One piece of advise with lawyers, like life. In general you get what you pay for. Pay a lot for a handbag you get a good leather handbag that last a lifetime. Pay a little you get plastic and it wears out in a few months. Good Luck in your search.
