Hired Attorney 2020-2021Flighty, unreliable, incapable, doesn’t follow through with her commitments: I’m writing the review I wish I had read before I hired her. With full knowledge of what the case entailed, she agreed to represent me up to and including a trial--signed a retainer agreement, took my money for a retainer fee. She ignored my emails and phone calls for long stretches of times. Then, without even filing the complaint, she sent me a letter telling me that she was no longer representing me, citing only her own ignorance in the legal matter. Think of it this way: Your car is broken. You call a mechanic. He says, “Yeah, I can fix that; that’s my specialty. I’m an expert in transmission repair.” You pay him. He takes your car for months. You can’t get ahold of him. When you finally do, he says, “Turns out I can’t fix it because, actually, I don’t know how to fix transmissions. But I’m going to keep your money.” Anyways, I begged her to sit down and talk to me, to explain what had changed, so that I could understand if I had a case or not, if I should find another lawyer and continue or not. She wouldn’t even give me that. She left me hanging and for all my foresight and planning ahead, I ended up back at point zero, but now broke, unemployed, and having missed some of the statutes of limitations on parts of my claim.

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.
