Most people do not need a lawyer in their daily life, but when need to consult one, it is important that the lawyer is knowledgeable and gives them the correct advice. Even if all evidence in a particular legal case is in your favour, if you do not have a competent lawyer you could lose the case.
There are many resources available online and offline to find lawyers specialising in a particular area. Many lawyers will be listed in the local yellow pages. The local bar association will also have a listing of all its members. Online resources for finding lawyers include Martindale, Fatlaw. These include contact details like address of the lawyer , area of specialization and number of years in practice. It is often difficult to judge the competence of a lawyer based on the listings. For cases involving financial gain, a good lawyer should be willing to accept part of his fees as the money won in the case. Referrals from friends and relatives can also be useful in finalizing a lawyer. Some websites include feedback from customers and other lawyers, but this should be taken with a pinch of salt, since it can be manipulated. You can find out the success rate of a lawyer by checking the court records. Speaking to customers who have worked with the lawyer also helps. |
