Are you looking for good legal advice or representation? If you are, you probably know that it is quite difficult to find a good lawyer, especially if you have never used a lawyer before. To help you find a good lawyer this article will identify the best places to find good lawyers. The first place you should look to find good lawyers in by talking to friends and family. Friends and family that have used legal advice and representation before, will be able to give you recommendations on lawyers they think are experienced in the area you require and that can help you. If you cannot find any suitable lawyers from recommendation from friends and family the next place you should look is designated lawyer recommendation services. These service's recommend lawyers based on their experience and other credentials to help fit the right lawyer with the right client. You can find these services online, in a phonebook or though your local courthouse. However, when using these services you must be sure to ask what they use to qualify a lawyer for recommendation, as some of these services will recommend any lawyer as long as they are technically qualified, without knowing whether they are actually good lawyers. Use lawyer recommendation services that only recommend lawyers with proven track records and previous client references. Depending on the legal issue you have you can also find a good attorney though other people or groups that would need them. For example if you need a business lawyer you could ask your accountant or bank manager who they use for their business legal issues, as they will likely be able to recommend a good lawyer for you.
