Many people believe that a good criminal lawyer is one who is aggressive and, perhaps, even pushy with the prosecutor or the judge. This belief may even include the idea that a successful criminal lawyer uses theatrics and deception to win in court. This cannot be further from the truth.
No doubt, this perception is influenced, at least partly, by the many prime-time American television programs featuring tricky lawyers pulling the wool over the eyes of judges and juries, or aggressively pressuring the prosecutor to "cut a deal". However, in real life, there are four factors that a good criminal lawyer needs in order to successfully defend a client against a criminal charge.
Knowledge and experience in the law;
Thorough preparation of the facts of the case;
Ability to eloquently argue both;
Persistence (not aggressiveness) in achieving a successful result.
