When facing a legal issue, choosing the right lawyer can make all the difference in your experience and the outcome of your case. At Thomas C. Fagerberg PC, we recognize the essential role court-appointed attorneys play in the justice system. However, it’s important to understand the differences between court-appointed and private attorneys, especially when it comes to having someone truly in your corner.
With a court-appointed attorney, you don’t get to choose who represents you. But what happens if your personalities don’t align? The relationship between a client and their attorney is crucial for communication and trust—two essential ingredients in building a strong defense. Moreover, court-appointed attorneys are paid by the same system prosecuting you, which, while not unethical, can create an inherent tension. On the other hand, a private attorney works directly for you, fully accountable to your expectations and committed to achieving the best outcome possible.
Another key difference lies in how cases are handled. Court-appointed attorneys are often stretched thin, with limited time and resources to dedicate to each client. Private attorneys, by contrast, have clear incentives to resolve your case as efficiently as possible without compromising quality. At Thomas C. Fagerberg PC, we understand how hard it is to pay for legal representation, and we work tirelessly to ensure your investment is worth it. We don’t just represent the accused—we recognize that their families often bear the weight of these challenges, and we go the extra mile to provide support and peace of mind.
