Hired Attorney 2019The level of unprofessionalism at this law firm is astounding. I paid for a consultation with Lynn Lawson and after she showed up an hour late to the meeting she spoke with me and said she would take the case. I agreed to pay her retainer fees for the case (exorbitant fee, but I expected to have to pay considerably in order to get results) and left hopeful that everything was now in a lawyers hands and that a solution would be made however I called and spoke with the receptionist (Cindy) a week later and she said she had no information and that Ms Lawson was out of the office. I called again two weeks later and was told Ms Lawson was in court and unavailable and she would contact me. A month later I called again and asked for an update on anything at all that had been done and was told by the secretary that she didn't have access to Ms Lawson's records but I could leave a message. This back and forth happened for several months without a single communication from Ms Lawson. So basically they have taken my money and done absolutely nothing for me and won't return my calls. So now I am left to reach out to another lawyer to address my problem (with critical time having passed) and I have really don't intend on having to get another lawyer to sue this horrible lawyer (Ms Lawson) to get back all the money I spent on the consultation and retainer because all I want is a resolution to my initial problem. This is just a warning to anyone who could potentially consider using Cheryl Lynn Lawson's services to be extremely cautious and realize that the same utter lack of respect or work ethic could befall you.

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.
