I’m trying to understand what to look for when hiring a felony attorney Columbia MS. This is a serious situation, so I don’t want to make the wrong choice. Should I focus more on experience with felony cases, success rate, or how well the attorney communicates? Also, is it better to go with a local attorney who knows the courts, or someone from a nearby city with more experience?

If anyone has gone through something similar, I’d really appreciate your advice or recommendations.
