1. Once you have decided that you need legal representation…contact your friends & family members to see who they recommend. It is better to get a referral than to blindly open up a telephone book and randomly calling anyone.

2. Make sure that you call at least two different attorneys and set up consultations with each one. Go in for your consultation and talk with them in-depth about your problem. It is advisable to take notes during the consultation that you can refer back to once the meetings have concluded.

3. Decide on the attorney who best meets and suits your needs. Just a word of caution, “cheap” doesn’t mean the best. These are two different things and personally, you want to hire the best law firm for the job. You should call your state licensing board to make sure that the law firm and attorney that you selected is in good standing with the state.
