Hard Work
If you are planning to become a criminal lawyer, you must be ready to work hard. As a criminal lawyer, most of the cases you work on will have hearings, investigations, negotiations, motions, including gathering a huge amount of documents that will need to be drafted prior to trial. In no way is the job going to be easy, so you will need to be someone who works hard.
Persistence
As a criminal lawyer, you will most probably come up against police officers, prosecutors, and even judges who will attempt to block you from doing your job. You will need to be persistent and be ready to go all out to get your job done. Your persistence could mean that the case you are working on will not result in a wrongful conviction.
Creativity
You will need to be creative so as to keep a fresh perspective. Doing things differently with an open mind will help you seize favourable opportunities and solve difficult problems. You might want to avoid trying to approach all cases with the same strategy. Be creative and treat each case differently.
Clear Plan
As a criminal lawyer, you will need to have the ability to think quickly on your feet. Of course, you will need to have everything planned out to the minutest detail, but you must have the ability to come up with a plan on the spot. When planning your case, you will need to carefully work through all the details and be prepared to go an alternative route if something doesn’t go according to plan.
