A criminal lawyer will have attended college for the same amount of time as any other basic lawyer. There are some states, however, such as Oregon, that do not require you to attend law school before becoming a practicing lawyer. Generally, a lawyer will have to have received his/her bachelor's degree (4 years) and then have attended law school (3 years). Thus you are looking at about 7 years and the student must still pass the BAR in his/her state to become an attorney.
