WHAT TO AVOID WHEN SELECTING A LAWYER

www.lawyerratingz.com 


When selecting a lawyer a consumer should be wise enough to try research the internet so that you do not end up with a lemon It does not matter whether you are buying a house, preparing your estate, or suing a merchant that did you wrong, here are steps to help you find the right attorney for your needs. 1. Ask for a referral from another lawyer with specialized expertise. 2. Talk to people you know and trust. Can you find a friend who recently purchased a home? Try and probe a sibling who may have gone through a divorce? Are you aware of anyone who has recently prepared a parents' will? Ask your family members, friends, co-workers, and others you trust for recommendations. I did and I found an attorney located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Stuart B. Klein who is so unethical that he caused a tremendous amount of pain to a surviving family who struggles daily from the trauma. Don't just collect names. Be sure to ask probing questions about what it's like dealing with the attorney they suggest. 3. Consult a bar association which may have specific information, license verification, access the internet and do a search of the lawyers name. 4. Check legal specialty groups because some specialists have their own professional associations, which can help you find attorneys. 5. Locate independent legal referral websites. There are many that can help you find a lawyer based on your location and legal issue. Unlike the professional associations, these sites might or may not have reviews by clients. Be aware that many of these referral services are paid for by unethical lawyers. There are many free or low-cost legal aid programs for low or moderate income people. Some states provide legal help guides by subject. Try and find blogs, where people are allowed to actually speak freely, because many people fear that they will get sued as a result. There are law blogs and forums available. 6. Feel free to conduct a cross examination. Once you have located a potential candidate, set up a face-to-face meeting. Many lawyers do not charge a fee for this first visit. The attorney will be asking a lot of questions, but you should take control and look for answers of your own. Don’t be manipulated. Ask for references, but certainly be aware that you are not likely to be put in touch with former clients who are dissatisfied.
