Q: My fiance is being charged with murder I have a paper of how much the house is worth I need a lawyer who will fight for

A: You could call 100 lawyers about this and they will all tell you they will fight for you! Finding a solid defense lawyer takes more time than a post- you want to look at more than a webiste too. Look at their years of experience, training, and reviews if they have them. I know some excellent lawyers that arent on the web at all and some that advertise a ton and would not be the right fit. Think of this like you would getting a doctor for a scar on your face or a eye surgery. Do some research and ask questions. You may meet 2 or 3 lawyers that are equally well qualified and then it comes down to who he feels best to work with, or who you like. After all the two of you are going to be working with the lawyer at least 2 years so pick someone you trust and like as well. There are many of us on Justia you could talk too as a starting point. In addition, hiring a lawyer privately for a murder is going to be expensive no matter what, but don't go telling anyone the equity in your house until you knw who you are hiring. In addition, having equity in your home is not as good if you can't borrow against it or support the debt to do so. In addition, MA has some really great court appointed defense lawyers and the CPCS lawyers that would do a murder case are likely to be highly trained and very capable. You will never get someone right out of school as the state requires lawyers to have a minimum of 6 life felony's to verdict and I think 10 years experience just to think about it. Finally, be careful of saying anything on social media that could harm his case or create more problems. Good luck-
