HOW TO CHOOSE A LAWYER
You should choose a Seattle lawyer as you would a doctor, dentist, accountant or anyone who provides services. The fact that you are seeking a professional as opposed to a product should make no difference in your approach. Comparison shop. Check the credentials of different Seattle attorneys. Discuss fees with them candidly. And, whatever you do, don't forget to talk with them about the wisdom of retaining legal counsel. For example, does it make sense to spend $500 in legal fees and court costs to recover a $100 bad debt? Auto Crash Lawyers
 

How do you look for a lawyer?
The first and obvious step is to define the nature of your legal problem. You will be wasting both your time and an attorney's if you bring a simple real estate transaction to a Seattle lawyer who practices only criminal defense. Most people seeking a lawyer begin by asking advice from a personal acquaintance or someone whose opinion they value, such as a family member, a minister, or another lawyer. Other common referral sources are employers, law school teachers and administrators, labor unions, consumer groups, public interest organizations, and women's associations.
