[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it would help if you tell us what you need it for.

I have a friend whose neighbor is a (as PP states)"nut job" lawyer with an awe to grind, and she annoys people until they do what they want.   I suppose there are many of them, considering how many lawyers are in the area.   Borrow the money if you have to, you usually get what you pay for.  Get someone from a good school, if you can.  I say because there are so many lawyers and you ideally you don't want the "nut job lawyer with the axe to grind" that the good school would not admit.

Good luck!    [/quote]

I'm the pp you reference and I was referring to clients who are the nutjobs.  Sometimes lawyers can be the worst clients, but if you are wondering whether you are the nutjob CLIENT with an axe to grind, here are some clues:

1.  Other lawyers have turned you down.
2.  Your previous lawyer dumped you as a client.
3.  You "don't care about money, it's about the principle."
4.  You want a lawyer to take the case on contingency, even when it is not a matter in which there will be a pool of money awarded to you out of which to pay a contingency fee.
5.  Something wrong was done to you, but you had no damages.
6.  You need a divorce lawyer, but you have no friends, and plan on calling your lawyer all the time mostly just to talk, then getting really upset when you are charged for those calls.[/quote]
