Whenever you might need an attorney, one very workable approach is to:
1) Consider the kind of court case (divorce, bankruptcy, CHP defense, traffic, shoplifting, DUI, whatever).
2) Research to find the types of court(s) where those kind of cases are tried.
3) Call or go visit the court offices.
4) Speak to the judge's bailiff(s).
5) Ask the bailiff, "If YOU were brought up before this court as a defendant in such-and-such as kind of
case, whom would YOU want to retain as YOUR attorney."
I've tried this approach a couple of times while at a total loss for a good attorney. It has worked out quite well, those times.
The bailiffs know the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Lawyers from each other. And........when I've asked them, they've told me. [Not the names of the Bad Lawyers, no. They've suggested the names of Good Lawyers that they might themselves use.]
Offered for your consideration when the need arises.
[And don't go sayin' that there aren't any Good Lawyers...................]
