Criminal defense attorneys work more than most other attorneys. A private defense attorney normally has a long list of clients and he or she is in court every day. On a single case, defense lawyers work numerous hours each week in order to keep up-to-date and fresh on each case. There is a lot of work that goes on Behind the Scenes that a client does not see firsthand. The pre-trial phase of a criminal case involves a lot of work. There are conferences that occur between the assistant district attorney, the judge and the defense attorney in an attempt to negotiate a favorable plea bargain. There is also a lot of research and writing that takes place. Defense attorneys are constantly writing suppression motions and motions to dismiss and researching the law that applies to the specific motion. That does not mean that there are not some attorneys who do little to no work and overcharge for their services. However, it is the client's responsibility to ensure that he or she selects an attorney that will zealously represent them, and tirelessly work for them. One thing to remember is that the attorney works for you. If you feel that he is not doing his job, then confront him about it. If you don't like his answer, fire him and file a grievance against him.

Because you are defending a client and the law at the same time. You have to make sure that you are honest but also make sure that you dont let your client spend their next however many years in jail.
