I'm interviewing attorneys and one stated he or she could "guarantee" a result if I hired him or her. Should I hire such a lawyer?
You need to be extremely careful dealing with such lawyers. Rarely can someone guarantee a future event. The outcome of a criminal case is a future event like any other. A competent attorney can usually give opinions as to the outcome, but these are no more than professional opinions. Be careful not to mistake an attorney's opinion for a guarantee. If the attorney is truly giving you a guarantee contingent upon hiring the lawyer, ask the attorney to give you the guarantee in writing.
