Ask around and then check the circuit pacer to make sure that attorney has done a solid number of appeals. Listen to some of their oral arguments. Clerkship experience is also a good sign. I would generally look for someone who primarily does appeals and isn’t a trial attorney who also handles a few appeals.

I'm seriously tired of all the injustice done by cops. I've now caught several in blatant lies... On video or on record.

Maybe this is a mild vent but it gets really hard to defend cases where constitutional violations are just being overlooked especially in an area that favors cops! Ugh🥺
