Price? Location? Personality? Expertise? Look of their workplace? Where they went to law school? Their class rank in law college? Something else?

Intelligence I am impressed with no nonsense lawyer sorts-no sugarcoating, no beating around the bush.  Give me the information and back up the info being offered with details.  Some lawyers are comparable to politicians in the sense that their accurate occupation could be termed "wordsmithing".  You may possibly know what I am talking about...it really is the whole "if you can't convince them, confuse them" trick....by the time they are completed talking you're so confused and the subject is so far past that you just give up on your query and wonder if you happen to be comprehension is dwindling.....  . I also want them to call me back, after all, they are employed by the client, they are on my dime.  Most clientele will not abuse this privledge, as it costs dearly!  I know a lady whose divorce attorney wouldn't return her contact for three weeks!  And she referred to as him each day!  Inexcuseable, in my opinion.  . Also, Honesty & Integrity(I know, I know, insert lawyer joke right here)....I was most impressed with a recommended & pricey lawyer I met once. I was prepared to have him handle some thing for me, but he knew I was a single lady with a brain but not a trust fund, and took the time to explain to me how I could do it myself, with no a lawyer.  I offered to spend him for at least his time, as we spoke for about two hours and gave me all the appropriate forms, but he refused.  Now, if I run across anything and I need to have legal help, he'll be 1st on my list.   .  So, in summary, price is not an problem when you want the greatest, personality as it relates to the above is essential.  Appearances & fancy offices/degrees are secondary(although I would not feel comfortable giving a retainer to somebody performing enterprise out of the back of their van)...     . Coincidentally, I worked for an attorney firm briefly, and actually had men and women sitting on the front steps stating they wouldn't leave until the lawyer spoke with them.  The attorneys usually mentioned ...."and that is why we have a back door".....

Accomplishment Rate... I would consider only the success price of the lawyer in the area of experience you are needing 1 in.   If you are going to bother to get a single for something, you should need to have one consequently I would not base my decision on cost or on locatio or on appears or schools. I would base my selection on achievement rate alone. If he/she is low cost or close but has a 50% good results price I wouldn't bother. I would travel 2 hours to have an attorney that has a 90% win price or favorable outcome price.   Legal matters are quite critical, you want an professional in the field you require, as properly as somebody competent.   Very good Luck!

Is this lawyer going to serve me the best? You need to ask yourself what are your goals, and how will this lawyer serve those goals. If you simply want to win a case, look for a lawyer with a lot of experience in your type of case, and a winning record. If you want an out of court settlement, look for a lawyer who is willing to pursue that goal, and who knows how to effectively settle a case. If you want your lawyer to intimidate someone into leaving you alone, or ceasing and desisting, find a lawyer who knows how to throw his weight around. The bottom line is, you're paying someone to represent you towards a specific goal. Determine for yourself what that goal is, and look for the lawyer who will best serve you in that regard. Anything like a fancy office or expensive car might be results of her success, but if she wins every case except yours, she can still afford a fancy office. Find the one who will help you the best.

I have had a lawyer for years and before her I had her dad as my lawyer. I based my choice on performance. This firm is known all over the area for being the region?s top team of lawyers. They seldom lose either civil or criminal cases. Back when our son was getting a divorce and the ex was being combative we brought in this lawyer and some lady who works with our son asked him who is lawyer was and when he told her she responded that that was sort of like killing a mouse with an elephant gun. Overkill or not, it worked. Check out the reputation of lawyers around town and put more stock in reputation than grades or anything else. Our lawyer?s dad didn?t do well at all in school but every policeman in East Tennessee cringed at the thought of facing him in a cross examination.
