Answer 1

Well, I'm old, I'm experienced, I'm honest, I'm ethical and I'm an attorney. I also have no need to make more money since I have a job representing a county. In my state, if you wanted an old, experienced attorney you would call the state bar and ask for a referral from the senior attorneys' group. Yes, my state does have an organization for senior attorneys only. In general, the best way to get a good attorney is to ask all your friends for referrals. Good attorneys do not advertise. In fact, when I was a young attorney it was forbidden. Send me your question and I'll try to answer it or call your state bar office. Your problem is that you may be looking for site that doesn't exist since we old lawyers are still full of zeal and love advocacy, but we don't advertise. All my clients come from referrals.

No snide remarks here kiddo - but first we need to know where you live. Each state has its own directory of lawyers, and a list of their various practices - i.e. family practice (divorce, custody, etc); criminal attorneys; litigation etc etc etc - so give us more information and perhaps we can help you. When you request information you should know your own needs first.

You might want to try look for some one from your church if you go there. Or maybe you could go to a web site and search for a Christian Law firm in your area. It's just a thought.

If you are in the US, believe it or not, some of the best lawyers are those who work for Legal Aid...cheap, fresh and up on their profession...they are looking to win and will represent you well.



Problem is many are backlogged with cases. In that case, referrals are the best avenue to follow...ask family and friends and/or coworkers who they have used that is fair, not trying to gouge you and knows their stuff!



Good luck!
