To whom it may concern,
I hired Brynne to represent me after my husband died in a work accident. She was extremely patient, understanding and caring! Her knowledge of the law and explaining everything to me was beyond my expectations. She really cared about my case. This case lasted almost 3 years and she was in constant contact with me the whole time. I would have never won my case without her and her staff. They are all very friendly and courteous! Brynne is a professional in everything she has done for me and my family. Can't thank her enough.
Sincerely, Holly R.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you once again for all you have done for me, pertaining to my case. You have definitely exceeded all my expectations with your knowledge and work ethic. You are an asset to your profession and it was an honor to have you as my legal representative. - CP

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.
