[quote=Anonymous]honey, this is how it works.

first, get recommendations from people who have done EXACTLY what you want done. i mean, same state (ideally same county), same area of law (you want a will drawn up and they had a will drawn up; you want to buy a piece of property, they used this attorney to buy a piece of property), etc.

second, organize all your information and all your questions so that you are using the consult to maximum efficiency. ideally if you did step #1 correctly you will quickly find someone you feel confident is capable and proceed from there.

finally, people think that you need to "like" someone for them to do a good job for you. the classic area of this mentality is car sales. real estate is another one. however, the truth is that competency, efficiency, capacity (ie not drowning in other clients), and knowledge will serve you much better. ask questions to evaluate these kinds of areas (how many of these kinds of agreements do you draw up in a year?) but don't shop for someone you "like." that's what your friends are for. and being liked is how car salesmen unload really sh*tty cars on people.[/quote]
