My daughter and I recruited Bradley Shephard Esq. in an Arson case. Mr. Shephard took his time to explain the law, the risks of going to trial and all our options. He was patient and sensitive to the stress we were going through. He responded to every phone call and every text promptly. He diligently pursued the case and was sensitive to the financial implications to every twist and turn of the case. He is obviously is well respected and negotiated the best outcome of the case for us.

Bradley Shepherd was amazing at guiding me through the whole legal process. The legal implications of what was involved was foreign to me, so having his knowledge and guidance was very important. I was very impressed with his expertise, honesty, and forth rightedness. He explained all my options in a way that was understandable. He was worth every penny and more. I would highly recommend BSS Law.

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.
