What do you need help with?

How to choose an attorney

Six things to check before you hire.

Handles cases like yours

Pick an attorney who practices the area your problem is in — a DWI, a divorce and a car accident need different lawyers.

Licensed in your state

Attorneys are licensed state by state. You can confirm a license and any discipline with your state bar.

Experience

Ask how many cases like yours they've handled, how they usually end, and who will actually work on yours.

Fees in writing

Know how you'll be charged — hourly, a flat fee or a share of what you recover — and get it in a written agreement.

Clear communication

You should know how to reach them, how quickly they respond and how you'll get updates on your case.

Reviews and a local office

Read reviews from past clients, and look for an attorney who knows the local courts.

Questions about hiring an attorney

Do I need a lawyer to file a trademark?+

You can file on your own, but a lawyer can search for conflicts and draft the application to avoid rejections that cost time and fees.

Patent, trademark or copyright — which do I need?+

Patents protect inventions, trademarks protect brand names and logos, and copyrights protect creative works like writing, art and software.

How do I find the right attorney?+

Start with what you need help with above. That narrows the list to attorneys who practice that area. Then compare ratings and reviews, and talk to two or three before you decide.

How much does an attorney cost?+

It depends on the case. Criminal and family cases are often billed hourly or as a flat fee. Personal injury attorneys usually work on contingency — a share of what you recover, and nothing if you don't. Ask each attorney how they charge before you hire them.

Do attorneys offer free consultations?+

Many do, especially in personal injury, criminal defense, bankruptcy and immigration. Ask when you call — a first meeting is the best way to see whether an attorney is a good fit.

What should I bring to my first meeting?+

Anything about your case: letters, court papers, contracts, police reports, photos, bills and a short timeline of what happened. The more the attorney sees, the better the advice.

Can I use an attorney from another state?+

Usually you need one licensed in the state where your case is. Federal matters like immigration, bankruptcy and patents can be different — ask the attorney.
