How to find the Right Attorney?

By Daniel C. Lewis

Many people have asked this questions over the years.  The key to answering this question lies in several factors.  Here are just a few tips that may help you with the process.

1.  Determine what your legal needs are.  Attorneys specialize in a variety of different areas of law much like doctors specialize in different area of medicine.  You wouldn't go to a Podiatrist (Foot and Ankle Specialist) for Orthodontist (braces and retainer) work nor should you mix and match your attorney specialties. You want to find an attorney that has the expertise you are looking for.  Seek out an attorney that will help you solve your issue.  

2.  Ask for recommendations from friends or family.  This is especially helpful if that friend or family member has gone through a similar situation in which they employed an attorney.  Keep in mind that each legal case is different and that what is good for one person may not be good for you.  Make sure to ask plenty of questions.

3.  Check to see if your employer offers legal plans as a benefit.  Just like buying items in bulk from Sam's Club or Costco at a reduced price, legal plans may be available much in the same way at your place of employment.  LegalShield, for example, is highly rated and offers a variety legal services plans that will allow the average consumer access to top rated attorneys around the country at an affordable price.

Keep in mind that the law is complicated and not having the right attorney could cost you more.  Attorneys understand how to get to the root of an issue and develop the best options to resolving the issue.  Finding an appropriate attorney will actually save you time and money in the end.  Taking the time to find the right one is time well spent.
