A top criminal attorney or DUI attorney is always in demand. Further, such an attorney who offers free telephone consultations is a most valuable commodity. However, I have heard countless complaints from good people perplexed at the fact that such an attorney is not returning their calls for assistance. Why is this attorney not calling me back they ask? Usually you can count on these mistakes people make when calling such a criminal or DUI attorney for not having their legal questions answered.
"My boyfriend wanted to know."
If your boyfriend or girlfriend was in urgent need of legal assistance it would be they who would be seeking your assistance. What if the boyfriend is in jail and cannot call? A criminal defense attorney offering free legal services over the phone does not do it because they are Mother Theresa, but because they do not want the impediment of cost preventing a potential paying client from making a call to you. If a person is unfortunately is in jail, they usually do not have the financial resources to bond out of jail, much less retain a criminal defense lawyer. For such individuals a public defender is usually the best alternative for legal assistance.
"I'm shopping around for a criminal attorney or DUI lawyer, please call me."
Someone leaving such a message is sending the signal that cost and not quality of legal representation is what is important to them. For a criminal defense attorney or DUI attorney in demand, such a caller is not a priority as such an individual will usually fall for false promises of one willing to take whatever money you will give them only to without fail be disappointed later.
"I'm calling for a free consultation."
As stated earlier a top criminal defense lawyer or DUI lawyer only has so many hours in the day to assist good people needing legal assistance. Although free legal assistance is offered, it is offered so as not to prevent a prospective paying client from calling, not as a public service to be available for all in need.
