Verified ClientHired Law firm 2021-2023When I first met with Lara for my case she told me she would fight for me to get the best result and she really did mean it. I am beyond grateful to her and her staff for all the hard work they put in for me resulting in an incredible outcome that I feel most lawyers would not be able to achieve. She worked on my case for over a year, kept me informed, always answered when I contacted her and kept me reassured. I could not recommend her enough.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2022-2023Lara Yeretsian is the best lawyer I have every worked with. I cannot emphasize how much I appreciated Lara for all that she does. She is the only lawyer I will highly recommend, and put my trust into 100%. Immediately as I came in to her office and she looked over my case, my mind was put at ease that she was the person for the job. It was truly an honor and pleasure to work with her, even though a legal issue can be intimidating and unpleasant, she works with you and is by your side through everything, and tries to do her best to make sure your mind is put at ease. She explains everything in detail and made the process as painless as possible. She helped me so much with my case and kept me updated throughout the process until everything was taken care of and dismissed. She restored my faith in the justice system, If you need an attorney, do not think twice and hire Lara Yeretsian.

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.
