Top 5 Things to Look for When Hiring a Domestic Violence Attorney
Hiring a domestic violence attorney can be a daunting task. It is so difficult to weed through all the criminal defense attorneys and actually know which attorneys are good and which are bad. The first step you should take in finding a good domestic violence attorney is to:
1. Search Online Directories such Yelp, Google, Facebook, etc... for reviews on the attorney and the law firm.
2. Cross Reference the review platforms to see if the reviews have any similarity or pattern to determine if they are real reviews from real people. A lot of law firms pay marketing companies to put up fake reviews. Sometimes they can be really easy to spot other times not so much.
3. Determine if your domestic violence attorney is a certified criminal law specialist.
4. Look at the awards that the law firm and the attorney have received.
5. Lastly, I always check superlawyers.com to see if the attorney is listed in the directoy. SuperLawyers only lists the top 5% law firms in the nation.
