I think that this is an excellent place to start.Salty1 wrote:"Most municipalities will be using their city attorney for any cases." this is true, I would ask who the Patrolmans Union would use as outside council, this may give you an idea on where to start looking.
IMO, some of the best defense lawyers are former top notch prosecutors.
Just because a lawyer is famous or high profile doesn't mean that he/she will be the best in a criminal case.
A prime example is the so-called "King of Torts" Melvin Belli, who managed to get a death sentence for his client Jack Ruby.
