Choosing the right attorney can make a big difference in the outcome of your court case. But how do you know which attorney to choose? Every case is unique and there's no way to guarantee a particular outcome, but previous successful results can be a measure of an attorney's knowledge.

Experience counts. Does the lawyer know his way around the court? Is the lawyer known and respected by his or her peers? Does he understand how this judge or that prosecutor will view a case? Can he negotiate as well as defend a case in court? A lot of the work of a good criminal defense attorney  happens outside the courtroom and behind the scenes.

The best way to start making a choice is by calling the law office and talking to the attorney. Do you feel listened to? Do you feel confident in his or her ability?

At the Law Office of Peter C. Polidoro, LLC, I welcome your phone call. I offer a free initial phone consultation so we can get to know each other. In that call, I can give you an idea of the next steps to take in defending your case and if you feel comfortable, we can schedule an appointment.

I’ve been working in the criminal justice system for more than 17 years. I was an Essex County Assistant Prosecutor and Special Deputy Attorney General for eight years, handling hundreds of cases a year. I have tried numerous jury trials and bench trials through my career. I gained valuable first-hand knowledge of how prosecutors evaluate and develop cases. That's very helpful in representing clients now as a defense attorney.

I also developed confidence and skill in the courtroom and developed effective defense strategies that get my clients results. No case is the same – even when the facts look the same at first glance. That's why careful listening and evaluation of the case is important.
