Gang Related Shootings

Posted on July 29, 2014 by David P. Thiruselvam in Accidents - No Comments

Finding legal representation that is both effective and affordable can be difficult under any circumstances, but when your legal troubles are connected to a gang-related shooting, this can complicate the search. Some  lawyers are not familiar with the laws surrounding these circumstances, and whether you or your loved one has been injured in a gang-related shooting or has been accused of being connected with one, understanding your rights and having experienced, knowledgeable representation is vital. If you need to seek legal help for a gang-related shooting, there are several steps to take so that your case can be closed quickly and satisfactorily.

Understand Your Legal Needs

Before you begin your search for a lawyer to handle your gang-related shooting case, you need to understand that the circumstances of any case like this will require the services of an attorney who has both the experience and the knowledge to handle your case. This means that even though you may have been injured during a gang-related shooting, hiring an injury lawyer may not be the right move because these lawyers don’t always specialize in these types of cases. More often, they specialize in car accident, slip-and-fall, and worker’s compensation cases, and even if they have a high success rate in court, this does not mean they understand your state’s laws about what constitutes a gang or about weapons laws. Hiring a lawyer who has experience with gang-related shootings or specializes in crime victims, will ensure that you get compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and for the pain and suffering you may have endured.

If you have been accused of being connected with a gang-related shooting, you should not speak to the police until you find experienced representation. Only a lawyer who has handled these cases in the past should represent you. If you know that you or a loved one will be questioned by the police in relation to a gang-related shooting, it is important that you find a gang crimes lawyer to advise and represent you. If you’re not sure where to begin when it comes to finding this kind of lawyer, you can consult the National Bar Association for a list of gang crime, shooting, and assault lawyers in your area, ask a local lawyer or a public defender for a referral, or look for a specialty lawyer online, as there are a number of law offices that feature “collections” of specialized lawyers for almost every need. If you cannot find a gang crimes lawyer in your area, then choose a shootings lawyer instead, as they are well-versed in the gun laws of your state and how they are related to street violence.

Ask Questions

When you’re choosing legal representation for a gang-related shooting, it’s important that you ask your prospective candidates questions to ensure that you’re making the best possible choice. See here on shooting victim claim. Keep in mind that you will be paying for this representation, (unless you choose a lawyer who will not take a fee unless he or she wins the case,) so you are well within your rights to ask questions about the lawyer’s experience and expertise as it relates to your case. For example, if you have been injured in a gang-related shooting, you can ask questions such as what kind of evidence will be gathered, how the lawyer will prove it was a gang-related incident, and how they will prepare the case. If you have been accused of being involved, ask questions about their success rate, how well they know the gun and assault laws in your state, and whether or not they can be present during police questioning. If you have been injured or accused in a gang-related shooting, there is help available, and finding the right lawyer to handle your case will settle the matter quickly and so that you can get your life back on track.
