How Do I Find the Right Lawyer to Represent Me?
Andrew Byrnes Law Group • Mar 12, 2020
There are many reasons you may need to hire the services of a lawyer. If you were starting a new business, for example, a lawyer can help ensure that you have all the necessary documents to set the business up so that it is set up legally and correctly.
Other times, you might need a lawyer to help you get out the best possible outcome for you in a criminal case.
Whatever the reason may be, you’ll need to ensure that you’re working with the right one for your needs.
That said, how do you actually choose a lawyer? With so many lawyers out there available for hire, deciding which one fits the bill might prove a little more stressful than you’d expect.
Fortunately, in this article, we will help you do just that.
Here are four tips to help you hire the right lawyer:
1. Search online
Perhaps the best place to tap a pool of lawyers is online, with platforms like Google doing much of the heavy lifting for you. The best legal practitioners out there often have their services marketed on different online platforms.
When you do find several prospective and reputable lawyers, you can read more on them to find out which field are they in and to validate their practice areas mean they can help you.
2. Always do further checks
When you do find a lawyer or law firm that interests you, don’t ignore running further checks on their experience in the area. It is usually sensible to call up the firm of interest and confirm whether their lawyers are experienced in the area and capable of providing their services to you in your case.
3. Ask for recommendations
If you cannot find any suitable choices online, you can ask friends, family, coworkers, or anyone else that has hired lawyers before. They’ll tell you all about their experiences and make recommendations to you about who you should be working with. Word of mouth remains a useful tool to match a qualified lawyer with your case.
Ask whoever you’re talking to about the reason they had for hiring the lawyer and what legal situation they had. Don’t forget to ask them about the pros and cons of the services the lawyer provided them with as well. This will help give you a better idea of what you can expect if you work with the same lawyer.
You can also ask other lawyers for recommendations because they’ll more than likely be associated with others and are well-informed in terms of knowing who practices what and how professional and competent they are. In fact, they might give you a better recommendation than the ones given by friends or family.
4. Evaluate each lawyer’s experience
Always keep in mind that lawyers are not made equal. Some will be more competent and skillful than others. Because of this, you’ll need to look at what areas the lawyer specialises in. That way, you’ll be able to figure out whether or not they have the right skill and experience to help solve whatever problem you might be facing. If you’re facing a charge for drink driving, for example, you’ll need a lawyer who has experience working with the same case.
Starting a new business or dealing with a court case is easier with the help of an exceptional, competent lawyer. Looking for the right lawyer to work with, however, isn’t easy. It takes time, patience, and effort to go through hundreds of lawyers to find one that has the necessary skills and experience to solve the problems you’re facing.
After you’ve searched online, conducted further checks, asked for recommendations, and looked into their experience, we feel confident in saying that Andrew Byrnes Law Group may have the legal expertise you need.
