  1. Five Steps for Selecting and Hiring a Lawyer By: https://palmbeachcriminallawfirms.com

  2. 1. Conduct Candidate Interviews: • What experience does the lawyer have in your type of legal matter? • What is his track record of success? • What percentage of his caseload is dedicated to handling your type of legal problem? • Does he carry malpractice insurance? If so, how much?

  3. 2. Consult Salnick Law Firms: Law offices of Salnick is a great resource for information about a law firm and its lawyers. This guide is often used by lawyers themselves when choosing legal talent in another jurisdiction. It also includes lawyer and law firm ratings based upon peer reviews which may help when choosing between two qualified candidates.

  4. 3. Ask other attorneys: Lawyers know the skill and reputation of other lawyers. Attorneys may be able to provide information about a fellow lawyer that you may not find in a book or online such as information about a lawyer’s ethics, competence level, demeanor, practice habits and reputation.

  5. 4. Conduct a background check: Before hiring any lawyer, contact the lawyer disciplinary agency in your state to confirm that the lawyer is in good standing as a member of the bar. For an online listing of each state's lawyer disciplinary agency, review this ​directory of lawyer disciplinary agencies. You should always check references, especially if you located the attorney through the Internet.

  6. 5. Tour the lawyer’s law office You can tell a lot about an attorney from his law office. Request a brief tour of his office, beyond the office or conference room where you met with the lawyer. Is the law office neat, orderly, efficient and well-run? What kind of support staff does the lawyer employ? Does staff appear friendly and helpful? Is the lawyer’s office local and easily accessible? Is a large portion of his office space unoccupied?
