Verified ClientHired Attorney 2014I'm from Boulder, Colorado, and became recently widowed and my spouse and I hadn't previously arranged a will. Of course, issues arose on the legal ownership of two properties that we purchased together in Texas (and paid off) because 1) a warranty dead in Colorado is as effective as a will, but, 2) that wasn't the case in Texas because we were not residents of the state nor had ever been. I was at a loss as to what to do. But through pure coincidence, the Title Company that I've used multiple times in Colorado was aware of Chris and directed me his way, which was a blessing that feel from heaven for me. He was the ideal man to have. His specialty was Property and Real Estate issues and his knowledge of the laws, courts, and the hurdles that we may face was more than impressive. He was strait forward as to what might be involved and what we could expect and not expect. Nothing was hidden and very professional. He worked on my side, only, and did so politely with the courts and all whom we requested to serve as witnesses to verify my past relationship with my wife and that no other parties had an interest. He was in constant contact and always available to answer any questions I may have, and if I had difficulty completely understanding the legal terminology or process, he would patiently put it into words that I could understand. He did a tremendous job and had my issues resolved within 6 months, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. (Note:With all the Real Estate I've owned and other contractual situations that I've been in, I'm a man who has dealt with attorneys on multiple occasions and have come to surmise that only 1 out of 10 are truly worth a damn.) No doubt about it, Chris is one of the all time best that I've ever had represent me.

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.
