Hired Attorney 1990-1991I had a hopeless situation years ago. I was in a lot of trouble for something I didn’t do She was my court appointed lawyer. I was a young girl who didn’t know anything about court. How things like this work. I was very afraid for my future She explained things clearly to me. And helped me remain calm throughout my ordeal. She really did her homework on my case, and was an absolute Godsend The truth came out as to what really happened and I was able to get my life back. I thank her for that I never forgot her, or her kindness and hard work. I’m eternally grateful.

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.
