Do Your Homework Before Selecting An Attorney

An article in the October 19, 2007 Cincinnati Business Enquirer's Law & Accounting Trends Advertising Supplement addresses attorney selection. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) suggests :

1. Hiring an attorney with expertise and experience in the area you need;

2. Hiring an attorney who will give you candid advice; and

3. Don't expect to receive good legal advice without paying for it and the cheapest price for legal services isn't always the best price.

If you need assistance with a criminal matter, hire an attorney with significant experience in criminal defense. If you have a workplace discrimination matter, hire an attorney with significant experience in employment law. If you have a licensure matter, hire an attorney with significant experience in administrative law and who has experience working with nurses and/or other licensed healthcare professionals.
