What it Takes to be a Great Criminal Lawyer ?

This is the first of a series of posts on what it takes to be a great criminal defense attorney. First , you must have a thorough knowledge of all the traffic laws in Tennessee. I was in Ashland City , Tn. today on a drug case . The probable cause was a lack of a light on the license plate. Once the cop knew where I was going to attack the illegal traffic stop. The officer changed his mind on the reason for the traffic stop to that the license plate was not visible. Now we have a officer who took out the warrant for one reason now he is changing his reason for the illegal traffic stop. Where do you think this case is heading ? So, you have to know the traffic laws backwards and forwards to contest the traffic stop. Better yet carry a copy of the traffic laws to court with you in case they change their mind.
