One good place to look is at the website avvo.com. You can specify the area of law, and the location, and lawyers will be listed for you. You can click on the lawyers' names and go to their pages that have info about the lawyers. You can also look at questions the lawyers have answered online, which might give you an idea if the lawyer knows anything or not. Good luck.

If you have an auto accident, they will crawl out from under every rock in the city. Actually the best way to get to a lawyer is to speak with someone who had a good experience with one, and get referred. Be careful because some people get paid for sending clients to lawyers and they don't even know anything about the lawyer to whom they are sending you. I mean, speak to a satisfied actual and real client. It is like getting steered to a date. If that doesn't work, contact the Bar Association for the County or the State, and ask for a referral through their Lawyer Referral Service. Responding to TV, radio or billboard ads may not be in your best interest; you can find good people and you can find idiots. That is why a referral is the best source.

Almost all local bar assns have a referral plan. For instance, the Los Angeles County Bar Association has lists of lawyers who specialize in various sorts of legal areas.

In the larger cities there is usually a bar office and they keep lists of lawyers names who handle different types of cases. the state bar in Raleigh may also be able to help.where are you located?

Start with asking friends and family. Try to find someone who has had a similar legal problem to yours and see who their lawyer was. See if they'll recommend that lawyer or another one to you. Do research online to see if you even need a lawyer. There is plenty of free information about the law out there. For instance, I offer free books about various areas of the law so you can educate yourself and decide whether you need a lawyer. You can also go to the Bar Association. Although they cannot recommend anyone, they do have a referral service and can refer you to a lawyer. If you qualify, Legal Aid might be able to help. Good luck.

The best way to find a lawyer is ask others find out who they had positive experiences with and hire that lawyer.

If you are looking for a "defense" attorney as you indicate in the "Law Area" you filled out, then you should check with your insurers to see if any of your liability policies (i.e.: auto, homeowners, etc.) provide an attorney for you. If this is not available, then asking friends/relatives/coworkers is 1 way to find an attorney. Of course you can also search on the internet, in phone books, by calling your local Bar Association, etc.

Since I don't know what kind of lawyer you need, its difficult to answer. Generally, the best way is through a referral of a satisfied client.

You can find a lawyer right here on this site; right here for an injury accident. If you don't see a lawyer type that you need, you can contact the Oregon Bar Referral at osbar.org.

You can find personal injury attorneys, like myself, at AVVO.com, Findlaw.com or other sites that identify attorneys by specialty area.

The best way is through a personal reference. A friend or relative who knows or has used the services of a lawyer. Then, contact that lawyer. It may be that your situation may be one that the lawyer does not handle, for example your friend had a speeding ticket that was taken care of, but you have a medical malpractice claim. But, lawyers know other lawyers, so you may be able to get a reference that way. If that does not work, try your local bar association.

A variety of places. Google and Avvo.com are good places to start. Check with the state bar referral system. Ask friends or family for input. Court reporters and judge's clerks are good to because they see lawyers everyday-good and bad. Lawyer.com is also a good site. Look for someone close to your area and is well versed with the area of law that you need. Check for online reviews of past clients and to see if the lawyer has ever been disciplined by the state bar.

Referral. The best way to find a good injury lawyer is to ask around and get a referral to one. My business is 100% referral from current and past clients, other lawyers, and doctors. I would be happy to discuss your potential case with you, if you like. Either way, good luck.
