How to Hire a Lawyer: 5 Tips for Finding the Best Legal Match

August 10, 2020 / by Andrew / Leave a Comment

Do you need to hire a lawyer? This is a costly endeavor and if you need to know what to expect from a high-quality attorney. You can’t afford to make a mistake.

There are 1.3 million lawyers in the United States: which one is the best match for you? Making this decision can be difficult, especially if you’re not too familiar with the legal system.

In this guide, we’re going to show you how to hire a lawyer with confidence. Ready to learn more and learn what to look for in a lawyer? Then read on!

1. Look For Experience in This Area

Lawyers often dabble in multiple areas of the law. As you might expect, the legal system is a broad church and you don’t want to hire a lawyer who doesn’t have much experience in the field of your case.

For instance, if you want to file a personal injury claim, you shouldn’t go to a lawyer who specializes in family law.

Research your choices and find a lawyer who is an expert in the field that you need.

2. Good Communication Skills Are of Vital Importance

You might not know what to expect from a free lawyer consultation but there’s one thing to keep your eye on: how easy is it to communicate with the lawyer?

If your lawyer speaks to you in dense legalese, you might not be able to follow the conversation. As you are an intrinsic, important part of the case, this isn’t a good attribute for a lawyer to have.

You want your lawyer to speak to you in plain English without patronizing you. Try to find a lawyer that you think you could build a strong rapport with rather than having to take a dictionary to each meeting.

3. Ask for References

When you apply for a job you’re almost always asked for some references. When you’re looking at hiring a lawyer you should ask them for references too!

References from previous clients can make or break your decision. It’s vital that you don’t skip this step.

4. Are They Within Your Budget?

Hiring a lawyer can be very expensive. While some lawyers will do cases pro bono or on a no-win, no-fee basis, many will require you to pay them from the start.

This means you need to know how much money you can afford before you start looking for lawyers. Create a budget and know how much you can afford to spend on legal fees.

5. How Available Is the Lawyer?

You don’t want to hire a lawyer who can never make the time to talk to you. You’re the one paying, they should be able to work to your convenience. Find a lawyer who has an open-door policy (as much as possible) for their clients.

Ready to Hire a Lawyer?

We hope that after this article, you’re ready to hire a lawyer. While this can seem like an intimidating process, it doesn’t have to be.
