Experiences of Previous Clients
One of the best ways to determine whether a lawyer can do a good job for you is to talk to those who have utilized their services in the past. The easiest way to do this is to check with your friends and family members about lawyers they have used in the past. They can tell you whether they’d hire the lawyer again, and give you an idea of what to expect throughout the process.
If you are unable to obtain information about attorneys by asking friends and family members, read online reviews from reputable sites, such as Avvo.com. Avvo contains information about approximately 97% of the lawyers in the United States, so there’s a good chance you can find information about the attorney you want to hire. You may also want to visit the Department of Justice to check whether a lawyer you are considering is currently suspended or disbarred.
