If you are interested in criminal defense, there is a need for lawyers in that area. Maine had no public defender system, so the state contracts with lawyers willing to take it on. This may change by the time you get out of law school and pass the bar, but it is something to consider.

It should not matter, but try to lose the accent. Listen to the radio a lot and practice talking when you are alone.

I'm very much interested in criminal defense! I actually have my associates in criminal justice. I will try my best to lose the accent but I slip when I get overly excited or angry. Thank you for the advice.

Don't worry about the accent.

Those accused of wrongdoing will not care. They want competent counsel.
