NearmeLawyers.com offers two distinct packages: a complimentary option and a Featured Package. The Featured Package, priced at $69 monthly, provides lawyers with enhanced visibility, priority in listings, broader practice area coverage, and a standout profile position to boost their online presence and draw potential clients. On the other hand, the NearmeLawyers.com directory, available at no charge, lists basic information about licensed attorneys, including their name, address, year of birth, gender, law school, and year of licensure. Lawyers have the opportunity to augment their profiles with personal and professional details, but they are solely responsible for the accuracy of this additional information. NearmeLawyers.com does not validate the correctness of these details and offers no assurance as to their accuracy, neither explicitly nor implicitly. The responsibility for the accuracy of this extra information does not fall on NearmeLawyers.com, its employees, or its agents. It’s important to note that NearmeLawyers.com is not a lawyer referral service.

About
A criminal defense lawyer is a legal professional who specializes in representing individuals and organizations charged with criminal offenses. They are responsible for defending their clients against criminal charges, including theft, assault, drug offenses, and other serious crimes.
Once licensed, a criminal defense lawyer will typically work in a law firm that specializes in criminal defense. They will represent clients in criminal court proceedings, negotiate plea deals with prosecutors, and provide legal advice and guidance to their clients throughout the criminal justice process.
Successful criminal defense lawyers must have strong analytical and communication skills and the ability to think on their feet and make quick decisions in the courtroom. They must also be able to build strong relationships with their clients and have a deep understanding of the criminal justice system and the laws that govern it.
