DC Domestic Violence Lawyer

When choosing a Washington, DC criminal defense attorney there are a number of things you should be looking for. First and foremost, you have to trust anyone you hire.  If after speaking to an attorney you do not feel as though you trust them then you absolutely should not hire that person.  In addition, it is important that anyone you hire has experience with the type of crime you are charged with.  For example, if you are facing a Washington, DC DUI charge, make sure the attorney you hire has plenty of experience with DUI cases in DC.  Finally, do your homework.  A simple Google search of an attorney's name will most likely provide you with plenty of information about an attorney.  Make sure the attorney's reputation is what you would expect.  If you are not able to obtain any information about an attorney after a simple Google search that should tell you a lot about that attorney.  

The Washington Post reports that after a preliminary hearing on April 3, D.C. Superior Court Judge Robert E. Morin released Diana Lalchan into a halfway house and placed her on GPS monitoring after finding she may have acted in self defense.  Lalchan is accused of killing her husband in their SW Washington condo on March 28.  In addition to releasing Lalchan into a halfway house, Judge Morin also reduced the charges from Second Degree Murder to Voluntary Manslaughter.
