Review the online list of attorney
Many websites today offer free reviews of attorneys and law firms. Some reliable places to look for reviews include LegalZoom, Rocketlawyer, LawTrades, and “Avvo”.
“lawhelp” focuses on helping low-income individuals find attorneys. You can also cross-reference reviews from more than one website to find any discrepancies or biases.
Get Referrals
Getting a referral from the previous client is the best you can get, however, an attorney may require legal permission to get a referral from the previous client. You can choose to talk to your friends, family members, or colleagues, or check online forums to find a reliable attorney.
After everything is done and you’re satisfied with the shortlisted candidate, go ahead and make an appointment. Prepare the necessary documents beforehand, so the meeting goes smoothly. You should discuss the price and payment method at the first meeting itself.
