When You Need Legal Help - How to Find the Best Lawyer in Your Area
By Emeka Ezidiegwu
Fortunately, most of us do not have to hire a lawyer very often. This means that when we do need a lawyer we may not know where to turn. If you are in a situation where you need legal representation, it is important to make a smart choice. A competent lawyer saves you both time and money. Above all, knowing where and how to look for that competent representation is very crucial mostly when you need help quickly.
Determine what type of lawyer you need
The type of lawyer that you need is determined by what you legal situation is. If you are in trouble with the law, you need a criminal lawyer, but if you are trying to collect delinquent payments, a business attorney will meet your needs. And if you are not certain about the type of legal help you need, a simple keyword search on the Internet relating to your problem should narrow the choice for you.
Find lawyers in this specialty
Finding a lawyer in the specialty is easy enough. The yellow pages of your telephone book will likely have more than enough to choose from. You may want to do a little more research before narrowing the field down still further. Check with your state

How can i find a lawyer to sue my phone and insurance company?
For the past two years I have been dealing with claims and disputes regarding my former auto insurance company and telephone company (separate issues). Basically, they have both screwed me and now I want to try to do something about it by suing them. Trust me, i am not the type of person who would ever have done this in the past, but enough is enough. What kind of lawyer should i search for? Are there any sites i can search to find them? What should i be cautious about? Has anyone ever had to sue their auto insurance company for breach of contract?

chances are, when you signed all that paperwork for you insurqance and phone, you entered into an agreement to waive your right to sue, and entered into an arbitration agreement. the agreement probably requires you to fly somewhere, pay for 1/2 the expense of arbitraution ($5,000 give or take), and if you win you get your money. but the arbitratoir decides, and the agreement allows the company to pick the arbitrator (hello).

Monster,Hotjobs and Careerbuilder are some of the largest job boards where your brother could apply for jobs based on his qualifications and experience and upload his resume. Since,Craigslist allows free job postings,many companies post their job vacancies on this online classifieds website. He could also search for jobs using aggregators like Indeed and Simply Hired.

In the past two years I’ve used http://badproducts.com/ twice before for malpractice case and they referred me to two different lawyers, both winning me the case. Evaluation form on the website is free and they just took a % of my settlement, worked out well. maybe they can help you too, good luck!

Normally legal aid is the agency that will handle pro-bono type cases. It differs from state to state though. Other than a legal aid office, probably the best source for possible pro-bono would your state’s bar association. Most state’s bar association has a pro-bono division (or have the phone to give you) where private lawyers have volunteered to do some pro-bono work. You will have to qualify and such but if you do qualify, they will normally assign your case to a private attorney (rather than legal aid) who will do the work without charge to you. You would still be responsible for the costs though.
Please note though that a “tough custody battle” is not something most attorneys want to get involved in when they are not being paid to do it. You may not qualify for pro-bono or your type of case may not be one that pro-bono is done. If you are accepted, once an attorney sees that it is very involved and will cost him/her a lot of time, they may decline to handle the case. Legal aid, or hiring a private attorney, may be your only options.

How do I find a pro-bono lawyer (not legal aid) to help with a custody battle?
I am going through a tough custody battle where domestic violence is involved, and I cannot find help anywhere. Is there a place besides legal aid that you can find a lawyer that will do pro-bono work? I can explain further if needed for finding a lawyer purpose. (I am in Michigan)
I forgot to add that I have already contacted legal aid and they said that they do not have any resources at this time.
