Hired Attorney 2023-2024When Kai took on my slip and fall case with DL Rencher, he ensured I was informed every step of the way. He was always respectful of my time and availability, coordinating seamlessly with DL whenever needed. Kai was exceptionally professional, patient, and thorough, consistently following up with me throughout the case. Whenever I had questions or concerns, he addressed them professionally, conducting thorough research and providing accurate proof and data calculations. I am truly impressed with the teamwork of Kai, DL, Rica, and the office staff. I highly recommend Kai and Rencher Law Group for their exceptional service and commitment to justice.

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.
