Hiring a good lawyer is a very important decision. In looking for the right lawyer, consider the following: do they regularly practice in the area you need representation, do you know someone who has used the lawyer you are considering, do you feel as if you can trust the lawyer’s advice, do your personalities mesh? It isn’t always necessary for your lawyer to have the most experience in the area of law you need help in, but you want to make sure that the lawyer has a moderate amount of experience in the area or knows how to conduct legal research efficiently. A more experienced lawyer will cost more, but if you are on a budget, a less expensive lawyer can also get the job done. Finding a lawyer that you trust, in my humble opnion, is more important than their experience because if you do not trust them, you will not follow their advice. If you do not follow their advice, you sabotage your own case and there will be hard feelings for sure! Ask yourself: If this lawyer asked me to do something that I didn’t think I needed or wanted to do, would I still do it? Lastly, when determining if a lawyer is right for you, consider the way you normally communicate and how you best receive information. If at the initial meeting with the lawyer, you are confused and leave with unanswered questions, you will always feel confused and have unanswered questions throughout the case. Lawyers are usually hired as a last resort and more times than not, deliver bad news. I say if you don’t like the news being delivered, you should at least like the person delivering the news!

I like your suggestion to find a lawyer we trust and who our personality meshes with. My brother-in-law wants to consult with a lawyer since he's worried about being a whistleblower about fraud in his workplace. Keeping your advice in mind should save him time and stress when choosing what attorney to work with.

It's great that you talked about how it's important to find a lawyer you trust. In my opinion, the best thing to do is to hire an attorney if you're dealing with a legal issue. In that way, you'd be sure you're in capable hands who will fight to defend your best interest. I think you did an excellent job explaining how to hire a lawyer.

I liked how you said that you'll want to find someone that has some experience in the area that you need help in. My friend has been thinking about finding someone to help her with some problems she's having with her landlord. I'll be sure to pass this on to her so that she can choose someone that will be a big help for this case.

I like how you said to find one that you can trust. My brother was telling me last night on the phone about how he and his wife want to find an adoption lawyer in a couple of weeks, and he wants to make sure that they can find the right one to work with. I'll make sure to pass this information along to him as they search for one to hire!

My friend wants to go through a divorce, but he's not sure how to put it together. It makes sense that getting a lawyer to help out with that would be beneficial! I'll make sure that he knows to get one that has a lot of experience with that area of law.

Thank you for explaining that you should find a lawyer that you can trust since if you do not trust your lawyer, you will not follow their advice. My friend's grandfather experienced abuse in a nursing home, that's why they are looking at pressing charges. It's best to hire a nursing home abuse lawyer they can trust so they can be guided throughout the process.
