what are the best questions to ask an attorney before you hire them, also how would you know if they are any good and if they would get you out of trouble.
What helped you decide on the lawyer that you hired to represent you, and what was it for?

Before you hire an attorney ask him what he thinks his odds are of getting you out of trouble. Also an attorney who has previously worked in the D.A.'s office is more likely to have sway with getting things dropped and also better at making deals.

martindale hubbell has a site at martindale.com that you can check the quality of most attorneys.
1) The attorney should be experienced in your defending clients with your type of crime. If you got a DUI, a DUI attorney would make sense.
2) Determine the workload and support staff of the attorney. An over-burdened attorney that just wants your retainer fee can end up costing you your freedom, literally.
3) Research your violation and court outcomes that are favorable to you. See if your attorney thinks along the same lines as the attorneys in those winning cases did.
4) Ask the clerks of the courts if they have a favorite attorney. Efficient work usually wins the heart of a court clerk.

Well the small frame autos you mentioned would be much easier to carry/conceal, and all calibers mentioned would easily do the job in a self defense situation. Plus you have a much higher magazine capacity with the autos (15-20 depending on make/caliber) as opposed to your 6 shot revolvers. In addition, a .40 Glock will have less recoil than a .44 mag shooting full loads, which puts you back on target much quicker for a second shot. Keep in mind though, double-stack .45s such as those produced by Glock have an extremely wide grip, which may be uncomfortable if you have small hands. BUT if you are confident and comfortable using your revolvers, then use one of those. At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference and you should use what ever works best for YOU

One question andone only: "What is the best deal you are prepared to get me." Price, time, etc, is unimportant. I am curious, though, why do the crime if you aren't prepared to do the time?

How many cases, what type of cases, what is his success ratio.
