Hired Attorney 2004I asked him to adjust child support payments from two children to one (one would graduate from college in three months). He asked for one thousand dollars. I paid assuming that he would refund the balance if not a lot of time was required. Two months later he had not done anything. I called him; he said he would get it done. Over one month later (after she had graduated) I still had not heard from him. I called; he said to cut the payment in half and he would get a revised agreement. I cut the payment in half and never heard from him again. No communication, no refund, no revised agreement. I suspect that at some point he called my ex-wife's lawyer and said, "Let's just cut the payments in half." Five minutes, one thousand dollars. My mistake was in assuming that a personal acquaintance would not engage in predatory billing. I was wrong. Don't make this mistake. Hire someone else.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
