    Never underestimate the importance of having a lawyer who listens to you, pay attention to your case, who is deeply knowledgable in law and command the respect of the court and his fellow legal luminaries. Please trust me, Micheal Testa Sr Esq is a result-oriented attorney. He will honorably do anything within legal bounds to achieve a good result for you. It's uncommon to see an attorney of his caliber that would consider and take some of your inputs, based on your understanding/knowledge of your case and incorporate it with his deep knowledge of the law to achieve a desirable result for you. He's a very good and honorable man. Yes, very. It's true what they say, "leadership is about setting the tone". His firm exudes his good-natured personality from top to bottom. Eternally grateful to him and everyone in his frim, especially Karla, his secretary. She is a very good woman.

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.
