"I had some substantial tax issues inside my business and didn't have any resources or existing relationships to help me resolve the problems. I took a chance, did the almighty search engine gamble, spoke to several large and small firms, made the right decision, and chose Joe Pearman. From the very first meeting, Joe put me at ease. He laid out a very realistic road map with several options on how to go forward. Many other firms painted a too good to be true picture. He set realistic expectations of the process and all of the potential ups and downs that could possibly come my way. Joe's approach, personal touch, and expertise in these matters helped manage my stress. This allowed me to focus on the business. Joe was very professional and efficient with his time. Everything turned out better than expected. I assume that most people don't talk about their personal and company tax issues out of fear or embarrassment. I know I didn't. I don’t how I could ever repay Joe for the work he did for both me and my business and the relationship we have built. I could not be more grateful that I choose Joe and would recommend anyone who not only wants to get their problems resolved, but to be given realistic expectations about the situation, to hire Joe NOW. I consider hiring Joe one of the best decisions I have ever made."

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.
