Personal Lawyer Referrals
When a legal issue comes up in your life, one of the most difficult tasks is finding a lawyer to help you through that issue. With so many lawyers out there, it is hard to know who the right one is. It can be therefore be quite a relief if a friend or family member recommends a lawyer to you.
Before you hire this lawyer, though, there are a few questions you need to ask. Does the lawyer have the expertise in the area of law you are concerned with? A good immigration lawyer probably will not be much help with a bankruptcy issue. Do you “click” with this attorney? Is the attorney in a convenient location for you? Is the lawyer currently accepting new clients?
If the answers to the questions above are yes, then your problem is solved. However, if not, you may want to consider bypassing the personal referral and using an attorney referral service. Many of these services offer an easy-to-use website, and will provide lawyer referrals for attorneys that meet your needs. The better services will also provide a good deal of information about the attorneys they are referring, and some will restrict the referrals to those lawyers who are interested in taking you as a client.
Many County Bar Associations also provide attorney referral services. Although these services are a bit limited in nature, they do provide a good first step in case the personal referral does not pan out.
A good personal referral can be a blessing when looking for a lawyer. However, just bear in mind that the attorney that worked well for your friend may not work well for you. If this is the case, an attorney referral service can be a great option.
