How to Find the Perfect Attorney

The process for finding the perfect attorney can be a daunting, frustrating, and time-consuming task. Below are the three primary ways that clients find attorneys and a discussion of each.

Get a referral:

Your friends and family may have hired an attorney in the past that did a good job for them. If you are comfortable asking them for a referral, you should do so. Just make sure you ask them the proper questions, so you don’t get stuck with an attorney you won’t be happy with. What was their case about? Did it deal with the same legal issue you’re faced with? Was the cost fair? Did the attorney report regularly on the status of the matter? Was the issue resolved timely and satisfactorily? Would they hire that attorney again? Even if you are comfortable with the answers to those questions, you should still do some independent research to determine if the attorney you’ve been referred to is the right attorney for you.

Use a directory:

There are thousands and thousands of websites for attorneys and law offices out there, but randomly Google searching for an attorney in your area is not an efficient or effective way to find an attorney. Instead, using an online attorney directory that includes important information on each attorney listed will allow you to quickly whittle your options and make an informed decision as to which attorney to hire. Specifically, the Legal Services Link attorney directory provides detailed information about each attorney on the site, including his/her rates, experience, credentials, areas of practice, and reviews and ratings from previous clients, so you can quickly search for and find the attorney that is right for you based on the criteria is important to you.

Post your legal job:

Legal Services Link now allows people and businesses with legal needs to quickly post short summaries of their legal needs to the website for review and application by qualified attorneys interested in doing that work. Unlike the other two options outlined above, this results in attorneys coming to clients and not the other way around. Once interested attorneys have submitted their applications for the legal job, the client can then review the attorneys’ rates, experience, and credentials, and identify and hire the best attorney for the project. This results in a more efficient and informed legal hiring process.

Legal Services Link provides people and businesses with the tools needed to find the perfect attorney for them in the way that works best for them, and, in doing so, eliminates the time and stress often associated with the legal hiring process.
