CROSS EXAMINING YOUR LAWYER
When the average person finds themselves looking for an attorney, it’s usually because their future is on the line. Whether it’s because of a criminal charge or a debilitating car accident, lawyers are your best bet to ensure your voice is heard. So why would you settle for anyone but the best? Asking the following questions will help you find the representative most suited to your needs. The most important part in any client-attorney relationship is also the most personal. Without trust, you may not feel comfortable sharing all the details of your case or agreeing with your attorney’s strategy. If you have doubts that your lawyer isn’t fully committed to you and your case, then it may be time to find someone who is. The law is vast and complex, much like the world of medicine. You wouldn’t want a contract lawyer defending you against a felony, in much the same way you wouldn’t want a general practitioner to do brain surgery on you. If a firm tells you they can do everything, your next question should be, “Okay, but what do you do well?” Here at our firm, we stay focused on what we do best — criminal defense and personal injury. If someone comes to us with problems outside of those bounds, including former clients, we are happy to recommend them to other firms we trust. DO YOU TRUST THEM? WHAT ARE THEIR SPECIALTIES? Constant communication is key to a successful case, which means location has to factor into this discussion. Chances are you’ll have to meet with your lawyer often; the last thing you need is a long, expensive commute to their firm for meetings. You can use sites like Avvo and Google Maps to view firms in your area, along with reviews from their former clients. We’re proud to have so many stellar reviews from people we’ve helped here in the San Diego community! WHERE ARE THEIR OFFICES?
