Attorneys who have low workloads are often able to give you swift and personal attention. Choose a lawyer who has just a few clients on their current schedule, so you are more able to set appointments, have personal phone conversations, and have paperwork filed for court quickly.

Choose a professional who works with you on a one-on-one basis rather than letting their assistant or legal aide do all the work.

If you have a specific case like divorce or child custody, choose attorneys who specialize in the kind of help you need.

They are most likely to be able to file paperwork correctly, make the right arguments in court, and have the persuasive negotiation angles to help things settle outside of court instead of going in front of a judge.

Ask your friends or family for the best attorneys in the area, and they will give you their honest opinion. Lawyers aren't just successful by what they accomplish, they climb the ladder based upon their honest reputation as well.

Word of mouth spreads quickly, so you should be able to find a legal expert with fair reviews easily by checking online forums, testimonials on a firm's website, and just by asking around.

If you don't have a lot of money to spend right away, choose legal representation that will let you make spread out payments for their services. Many attorneys allow you to pay a small fee upfront, then pay off the rest of their services as your case progresses.

Most lawyers should be able to give you an accurate estimate of their fees upfront, and not vary them as your need for them continues. Choose a person who will understand your budget limitations.

You want legal aid right now, not in a few weeks. Choose attorneys who can get you in their office within a few days, so you can begin working on your case right away.

The sooner a lawyer is willing to see you, the sooner they can handle your case.
