Choosing the right lawyer for your case
2

• If you are a financial advisor and find yourself
  in a spot of legal trouble, you will need the
  help of a lawyer. How do you choose the right
  lawyer? In this blog we list some of the ways in
  which you can have access to the best lawyer.

3

• Conduct candidate interviews
• Interviewing a lawyer is the best way of
  assessing his legal ability. Most attorneys will
  provide you with an initial consultation free of
  charge. Consider the below questions when you
  interview the lawyer

4

• What is the experience of the lawyer in your type
  of legal matter?
• How long is the lawyer in practice?
• What is the lawyers track record of success?
• What percentage of the caseload is dedicated to
  handling your kind of problem?
• Do they possess any additional skills?
• What are the lawyers fees and how is it
  structured?
• Does the lawyer have malpractice insurance?
• Who else is going to work on your case and what
  are their rates?
• How often will you be billed?
• Can they provide references from other clients?
• Do they have a written fee agreement?
• How are you going to be informed of any
  developments in your case?

5

• After meeting the lawyer ask yourself the
  following questions
• Is the lawyers experience and background
  compatible with your needs?
• Do they provide prompt and courteous answers?
• Will you be comfortable working with them?
• Are you confident that they have the skills and
  experience to tackle your case?
• Are you comfortable with the fees and their
  structure?

6

• Ask other lawyers
• Lawyers are aware of the skill and reputation of
  their fellow lawyers. Attorneys may be able to
  provide information about a fellow attorney which
  is not readily available. They have information
  about the lawyers ethics, competence level,
  practice habits, demeanor, as well as their
  reputation.

7

• Background check
• Before hiring the Securities Disputes Lawyer,
  contact the lawyer disciplinary agency in your
  home state in order to confirm that they are in
  good standing as members of the bar. If you have
  located the attorney over the internet, a
  background check is an absolute necessity. You
  can also check the attorneys peer reviews
  online.

8

• Tour the office
• You can say a lot about an attorney from the
  shape of his office. You should request the
  lawyer for a brief tour of the facilities apart
  from the office and consulting room. Check if the
  law office is neat, tidy, and well run. What
  about the support staff? Does the staff appear
  friendly?

• If you are a financial advisor needing a lawyer
  then look for legal services for financial
  advisors, financial advisor lawyers, financial
  advisor attorney, attorneys representing
  financial advisors and financial advisor lawyers
