Dallas Bankruptcy Lawyer
Q.I'm not well versed in dealing with lawyers. How does one find a (good) malpractice lawyer? I'm in the Dallas, Texas area so I sure I'd have many to choose from but, I don't know where to start. Also, in dealing with a malpractice lawyer do you initially set up a meeting to see if the case even has merit?
A.People look to the Internet to find answers to questions about a wide variety of legal problems. Probably the most frequently given answer is that legal advice can't be given over a public forum, in line with the standard disclaimer: “The above does not constitute legal opinion and is offered for the purposes of discussion only. The law differs in every jurisdiction, and you should not rely on any opinion except that of an attorney you have retained, who has a professional duty to advise you after being fully informed of all the pertinent facts and who is familiar with the applicable law.” So the next question people ask is, if they don't already know a good lawyer, and perhaps have never needed a lawyer before, how do they go about finding a good lawyer? This FAQ will talk about different ways to find an attorney, without getting bogged down in too much detail about specific types of cases. Whatever method you use, don't be reluctant to interview several lawyers until you find one you're comfortable with. How Do I Make An Appointment? Most lawyers are interested in new clients—we certainly are. When you call for a consultation, you don't need to give a detailed explanation to whomever answers the phone. Just say that you wanted to speak with the attorney about a new case, and briefly describe what it's about: an accident, a real estate dispute, writing a will, starting a corporation . . . whatever the case may be. No two words will get an attorney to return a call faster than the magic phrase, “new case.” Some firms will charge for an initial consultation, others do not, depending on the type of case. For example, few lawyers charge for an initial meeting about a personal injury case; most charge for an initial meeting for a contested divorce. Make sure you understand the policy before you go in. Charging for the first meeting doesn't mean the firm is greedy; some use this as a screening device, to make sure you're serious about your case. It can also mean that the firm is good enough, and busy enough, that they can be selective about accepting new cases.
