How to Choose a Lawyer
- Word of mouth. Talk to your friends or relatives about a lawyer they may have used and who they can recommend.
- Call the local bar association lawyer referral program for your area, listed below. The programs charge a fee for a referral.
- If you have a low income and you have been arrested, you may qualify for an attorney through the public defender’s office. Apply at the public defender’s office, located in each courthouse handling criminal cases, on your first court date.
- If you have a low income and have a civil case (for example, divorce, landlord/tenant, child support), call Statewide Legal Services at 1-800-453-3320 for a lawyer or referral to a lawyer who may help you for free or for a reduced fee.
