Choosing an attorney is not easy. Here�s some things we suggest you consider. Look at the attorney�s credentials. If an attorney went to a top law school, you can expect a certain standard of competence. You should then look at experience. Does the attorney have some listed experience on their website that makes them stand out? But, above all else, you should trust your gut. If your attorney seems like a jerk, do not hire him or her. Contrary to popular belief, being a jerk attorney is not an asset in law; it is a liability. A good attorney will have good relationships with opposing counsel. This relationship can and will help you get a better outcome. Jerk attorneys never form these relationships.
