Verified ClientHired Attorney 2008I have been a practicing lawyer for 35+ years. I chose Dawn Getty Sutphin as my personal lawyer because she has the qualities I look for in a lawyer. Of course, she is knowledgable and up to date on all aspects of estate law and relevant state and federal tax laws. Perhaps more importantly, she is dedicated to providing the highest level of client service on a personal basis. She is immediately responsive to all inquiries and an excellent communicator on all availble options in particular situations. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2009I highly recommend Dawn Getty Sutphin. She is very professional and knowledgeable, hard-working and thorough, very easy to communicate with, and most important to me able to take complex legal issues and explain them to you in common everyday English you can understand. She is very easy to work with and is careful to insure that you understand the process you are going through. She went above and beyond my expectations when it came to what to expect from a lawyer.

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.
