When I gave the advise to retain a lawyer who has a proven record of successfully defending people arrested and charged with lewd conduct, I was hoping that 'dcfan' would actually retain someone with a proven track record.
Within the legal profession, you have attorneys who actually do have a reputation and an established record of successfully defending people arrested and charged with sex offenses according to the criminal statutes. Lewd conduct falls under the criminal statutes for sex offenses.
There are many lawyers who handle these types of criminal cases. This does not mean they have a reputation and an established record of successfully defending someone charged under the criminal statutes for various sex offenses which include lewd conduct.
Some attorneys are not as competent as other attorneys who handle these types of criminal cases. You want to find an attorney who has an established track record of winning these types of cases. If you required heart surgery, wouldn't you want a physician who has an established track record of patients who survived the ordeal and are alive to prove it?
