How to Choose a Good Lawyer

Choosing a lawyer can be tricky- and the stakes are high. If you choose the right lawyer, the quality of your life may improve immeasurably. On the flip side, the wrong lawyer can cost a lot, in terms of lost time, lost energy, lost money, and a lost case. Choose your lawyer or attorney wisely- you’ll never regret it.

The first consideration in picking a lawyer is to consider WHY you need one in the first place. A few questions to ask yourself:

• Are you a defendant or a plaintiff?
• Is this a civil matter, or a criminal one?
• Do you expect the case to go to trail, or do you expect to settle?
• What are the consequences of losing the case?
• Is this an appeal; or do you expect the attorney will need to file an appeal?
• How strong (or weak) is your case?

When you’ve addressed these questions, you’ll have a better understanding of the consequences of choosing a good attorney or ending up with a bad lawyer. Know the stakes first- the higher the stakes, the more time, money and energy you’ll need to invest into choosing the right lawyer.
