But My Lawyer Told Me So

One of the things lawyers are known best for is their ability to listen to a client’s situation and advise him or her accordingly. Being that the client probably doesn’t have prior experience in the legal system, the lawyer’s advice is held in very high regard. Since the lawyer’s advice is often followed to the letter, it is imperative that the lawyer do the proper amount of research into the situation before dispensing appropriate advice.

Sometimes lawyers think they already know everything there is to know about an area of law and may not perform the diligent research they normally would if they were dealing with an unfamiliar with an area of law. The problem with this is that the law is always changing. New cases come up every day so it is important that lawyers fully investigate before advising a client.

If you lawyer gave you bad advice which cost you in your lawsuit, contact our office to discuss your legal malpractice options.

When choosing a lawyer, look for someone whom you can trust. If possible, select a person whom you personally know or who is recommended by a close friend or relative. To some extent, the element of trust is essential to ensure the client's best interests is maintained

In addition, like a lawyer, you should also research about law firms. You should do a background check, client review, and even gather new clippings to help you out to find the right lawyer for the job. Written recommendation from other people that can testify the quality of their work can also be considered. In that way, you would be satisfied with the lawyer that you’re going to hire, and you’ll have no regrets.
