HOW TO KNOW IF AN ATTORNEY IS RIGHT FOR YOU WHEN IS IT TIME TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY?
If you’ve recently had your first minor scrape with the law, then you likely have a hundred questions filling your head. One of the most important questions is “Do I need to hire an attorney?” Serving as a prosecuting attorney for several years and now a defense attorney, Kim assiduously works to ensure that every potential client who walks into the office knows when it’s necessary to bring in a lawyer. Her rule of thumb is: Did you get fingerprinted? Then, you need an attorney. Using Kim’s rule, you can determine whether or not you need legal representation fairly easily, but choosing which attorney to work with is far from simple. Here are some important first steps you can take: 1. Do your research. It’s important that the attorney you decide to work with has a strong reputation throughout the community. Do their past clients speak of them fondly? Are they respected by their peers? You can conduct your own basic background check by investigating their website and looking for reviews online. If their previous clients were impressed by their advocacy, attention to detail, and communication skills, chances are you will be too. 2. Schedule a meeting. After an initial consultation, make sure you schedule a meeting with your prospective lawyer in his or her office. This establishes a place where you can frequently meet over the duration of your case. An initial meeting can also help you determine whether or not you can trust them to have your best interests in mind and stay focused on your case no matter how long it takes to resolve.
3. Look around. Even when prospective clients come into her office, Kim always encourages them to meet with at least two other attorneys to make sure she is the perfect fit. Meeting with multiple attorneys, unfortunately, takes some time. When you’re in need of legal representation, you likely want someone on board immediately, but ensuring you have the right attorney — one with whom you are comfortable and confident — is necessary for a successful outcome in court. Choosing the right lawyer is much like choosing a doctor. You wouldn’t entrust your heart to someone who had never operated on one before. Finding an attorney requires the same due diligence.

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH SOME MOVIE TRIVIA
WATERMELON CUCUMBER SKEWERS
Even the best of students hates taking tests, but here at Frye Law Group, we love a good trivia question.
Skewers are a Fourth of July favorite, but these are not your classic kebabs. They’re a fresh, light, and fun way to start a barbecue. Oh, and they don’t require any actual cooking.
Check out the following film quote below:
“We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we dig deep into our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who feared to write, to associate, to speak, and to defend the causes that were for the moment unpopular.” Do you know the movie this quote is from? If so, send an email to news@fryelawgroup.com as soon as possible, including your phone and the title of the film.
