10 Ways To Identify If Your Lawyer Is Right For You

An ideal lawyer won't just have a chain of impressive credentials or gold lettering on his door

. He or she will probably be caring, concerned, and devoted to their job. You need to think carefully prior to laying your trust in a lawyer, after all, in some instances, your life, future, money or property will be in his hands.

Aside from doing in depth research to short list possible lawyers you must ensure that there isn't clash of interest, that you understand everything the retainer agreement states, and that you have checked the references and details concerning the practice.

You will realize the lawyer you've chosen is the ideal one if:

1.He makes an effort to spend time to realize your case himself. He will not assign a legal assistant to take details of the case down.

2.From experience and knowledge, he will know what's relevant and what is not. He will set aside and ignore irrelevant details, opinions, and personal emotions that cloud the case on hand.

3.He will insist that the footwork for the case be done thoroughly. All details should be checked for accuracy and solid arguments jotted down with backing of earlier rulings.

4.He will not just focus on the issue at hand but examine the issue from all sides. This will create a complete picture highlighting all factors of relevance and the different methods one can approach the case.

5.He will make use of his foresight and anticipate moves by the opposition or opinions of the jury or judge and prepare way ahead. Like a master chess player, he will plan the case not by the day but by many hearings ahead.

6.He won't waste time beating around the bush or produce verbose statements, or various words strung together which look impressive but mean nothing. He will insist that the case and its arguments be clearly stated.

7.He will be self-disciplined, thorough, and self confident. Courteous all the time, he will respect you as well as all the staff who work for him.

8.He is recommended by not just his friends and relatives but by other professionals of good standing and from his field.

9.He will not just present to you his victories but be happy to tell you why and how he lost certain cases.

10.He will lay the cards on the table and tell you clearly whether your case appears to win or loose. He'll not declare that winning is guaranteed. He will be honest and upfront about his opinions and advice.

The bottom line is that the lawyer must be worthy of your trust. Use your inborn instincts and don't go by the lawyer's great looks or fancy car or office. After all, it's competence in law and in court that is of essence to you.
