Hired Attorney 20242 minutes ago New Absolutely did not do his job as a GAL at all. Clearly doesn't know the law, because he doesn't understand the difference between probation and prison. Is incredibly misogynistic. Does not follow the guidelines for GAL in the state on MO at all. Listened to what the 14 year old said and did nothing about it. Spoke to one party for 5 minutes 6-7 months before trial, and then nothing after that. Yet, spoke to the other party several times while waiting for court. Spoke to people on one side, yet none at all on the other. Did not speak with teachers, counselors, the 7 different police officers who would have corroborated the child's story. Did not do home walk throughs after insisting they needed to be done. Stole 43 days from child and his other parent and siblings, based on a charge, not a conviction. Refused to look at actual convictions on the other side. Really went for the male in the scenario, based on all evidence against him. MO does have completely incompetent lawyers and GALs, however this was a notch above even that. Would stay far away and never recommend him in any scenario. Had zero problem charging thousands of dollars for doing absolutely nothing. Thank goodness my son has 3.5 more years till he can feel comfortable telling these people how he feels about this whole situation, because he 100 percent totally will be.

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.
