**Should You Hire a Local Attorney? Understanding “Home Field Advantage”**
Hi, I’m Aaron Grubb, a Tahlequah criminal defense attorney at Wirth Law Office. Many clients wonder if they should hire an attorney based in the county where their case is being heard. The concept of home field advantage suggests that local attorneys have an edge due to their familiarity with local judges and prosecutors. This established relationship can significantly impact your case. However, if you don’t feel confident with local options, seeking an attorney outside the area who advocates passionately for you is entirely valid. Ultimately, trust and effective representation are what matter most.
