Second Opinion Attorney for Criminal Defense Cases

When a doctor gives you a serious diagnosis and tells you that surgery is the only answer, you often seek a second opinion. Your freedom and future deserve the same careful review.

Maybe you hired an attorney who looks at your case in a certain way that makes you unsure of their recommendations and you want some validation if this is the right way to go, or if something more can be done to help your case and your situation. Maybe you couldn’t afford to hire a private attorney and you want to see if your public defender or court appointed lawyer is doing everything correctly. If you have doubts about your current legal strategy, speaking with an experienced second opinion attorney can provide clarity, reassurance, and potentially new defense options.

Attorney Jason Lamm regularly provides independent case reviews for individuals who want to confirm they are on the right path, or explore whether more can be done. Other times it’s just a matter of thoroughly reviewing a client’s file and the work done thus far to evaluate if a plea offer is a good one or if the client’s case can be realistically won at trial.

When Should You Get a Second Opinion From an Attorney?

• You may benefit from a criminal defense second opinion if:
• You are unsure about your current attorney’s recommendations
• You want another perspective on your defense strategy
• You received a plea offer and want to know if it is fair
• You are represented by a public defender and want private review
• You feel your case is not getting enough attention
• You want to understand your chances at trial

When your liberty is at stake, it is wise to leave no stone unturned.

What a Second Opinion Attorney Can Do

Attorney Jason Lamm frequently reviews the work of other lawyers to provide clients with an objective evaluation of their case. In some situations, he identifies additional defense strategies. In others, he confirms that the current approach is sound, giving clients peace of mind.

• A second opinion consultation typically includes:
• Initial case consultation to understand your situation
• Comprehensive review of discovery and motions you provide
• Independent legal analysis of potential defenses
• Evaluation of plea offers and trial viability
• Written memorandum opinion outlining findings and recommendations outlining and analyzing the issues in the case, any possible defense(s), the objective likelihood of their success, and the adequacy of the work done to date by the client’s current attorney(s)

Cost-Effective Legal Case Review

This limited-scope representation does not typically require Attorney Lamm to replace your current lawyer, nor will it require Jason Lamm to substitute his appearance for your current attorney. Instead, it is a cost-effective way to:

• Verify the work done on your case
• Identify additional legal options
• Evaluate risks and next steps
• Gain confidence in your defense strategy

If full representation becomes appropriate, that option can be discussed separately.
