Hired Attorney 2021-2023Chelsea fought 2 cases for me. The 1st one, she had very little time to review my case and still kicked butt in the courtroom (and won). During the 2nd one, however, her attitude changed drastically. She was extremely rude, couldn't be bothered, was always annoyed with me, and constantly put my case on the back burner. She yelled at me on multiple occasions, then blamed it on "being stressed." She pushed my court date back multiple times; once being the week before a holiday..... just so that she could leave early. Furthermore, she messed up my birthday on the paperwork, the college I graduated from (in an email she sent to the District Attorney; she had my transcript AND diploma right in front of her), and referred to me (in a letter) as a male (I am NOT transgender and I identify solely as a female). Oh yeah.... and she is ALWAYS late to court. Also, be prepared to get scolded at for trying to contact her outside business hours. Heaven forbid you work the same hours she does and can't always contact her when it's most convenient for her. On top of that, she expects you to answer her calls immediately, even if you're working, in the hospital, driving, etc., etc., etc. However, she doesn't have to do the same. The world is supposed to revolve around her, so do not email, call, or text her outside her normal business hours or she will get extremely aggravated. She also gave me an ultimatum: Take reviews down or she will not represent me. She gave me "x" amount of time to decide whether or not I still wanted her to represent me. However, she didn't even wait that long and withdrew herself, which was not what said in the formal letter she sent me. (By the way, I had taken down the 2 reviews [per her request].) Choose her if you want, but be prepared to be mistreated and having to walk on eggshells.

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.
