A good and patient lawyer is one that does not rush through things mumbling in such a way that you do not understand what is going on but you are afraid to ask or even embarrassed. Lawyers are sometimes intimidating. Your lawyer needs to explain to you the evidence that is being present against you and the implication of that and the results. A nice lawyer will give to you a variety of ways that will be best for you and will help your case. He needs to give you advice on that (after all you are paying for the service). Do not hesitate to ask question and write down the answer. Remember that even though you made a mistake, you deserve a second chance to prove that you can be a good citizen of the country. In many cases, bring a relative with you just in case you are too nervous to handle all the conversation.
