How to find the right lawyer
The process of finding a lawyer can be time consuming and often overwhelming. This may be compounded even further if the situation has an urgent need for legal representation. There are many factors to consider when selecting a lawyer to represent you, which include:
- Area of practice - Just because someone is a lawyer doesn't mean that they work in the area of law that you need help with.
- Experience - Depending on the nature of your legal situation, the experience level of the lawyer may be an important factor to consider.
- Fees and costs - How much a lawyer charges is generally in conjunction with their experience level. Even if your situation requires an experienced lawyer, it may not be within your budget. Click here for more information on understanding fees and costs.
- Complaints - You should find out if your prospective lawyer has had any ethical complaints or disciplinary sanctions from the Law Society.
These are all important factors to consider when selecting a lawyer.

All Shop4Law member lawyers have been pre-screened for complaints and practicing certificate status prior to joining, so you don't have to contact the Law Society.
