Choosing a Lawyer

Be sure the attorney you select is the right fit for your personality and your case. Whether you are interested in working with Robert or not, carefully consider who will represent you. Ask yourself if this is the person you want speaking on your behalf in front of a judge and jury.

There is nothing wrong with interviewing more than one lawyer to decide who the best fit is for you. Regardless of whom you speak with, beware of the following "red flags." If these issues pop up when you are speaking with a lawyer that you are considering hiring, be careful going forward.
  • If an attorney asks for a fee before they speak with you, consider also interviewing other lawyers who do not.
  • An attorney should never pressure you to sign a representation agreement. It should be your choice.
  • The attorney you hire should always explain the terms of your representation agreement to you and be willing to answer any questions you have.
  • If an attorney you are speaking with guarantees a certain result, you should speak with someone else to be sure of the risks involved and whether such a result is realistic. 
  • An attorney should not charge a contingency fee in an amount greater than the benefits they obtain for you. 
  • It is important to find out how much trial experience an attorney has before retaining them for litigation. You want an attorney who has recent successful jury trial experience in order to ensure you get the best results.  
If after speaking with a few lawyers you are still having trouble finding the right one for you, call the Oregon State Bar's free Lawyer Referral Service at 503-684-3763 (or toll-free in Oregon at 800-452-7636). They will provide you with the contact information for an attorney from a list of those that handle your kind of case.
