How do you find the best attorney to handle your case?

When you need legal assistance, you need to find an attorney with a reputation for being the best in their area of the law in terms of knowledge, experience, efficiency and results.  But the truth is, if you go to any of the many sites on the Internet that provide lawyer referrals, those are all just paid services, where the lawyers pay a monthly or annual fee to be included.  There is little or no screening process.  The same is true of attorney bar associations.  They may have some minimum requirements, but basically any attorney belonging to the bar association can be included in the referral service.  Ironically, referral services are often used by new attorneys to get their practices started. 

So how do you find an attorney?  Who knows who the best attorneys are for any given area of the law?

Orange County attorneys all know who the best attorneys are in the various areas of practice.  It's a knowledge that is gained naturally through the practice of law.  Trial attorneys read the verdict reports, and see the same names coming up over and over in the win and loss columns.  Family law attorneys go to court and see other attorneys arguing their cases, and soon know who is effective and who is not.  Business attorneys go to seminars to learn the latest techniques being taught by the attorneys on the leading edge of their fields.  They read the legal publications and see which attorneys are making news.

We decided there should be a site where clients can avail themselves of the information known by attorneys about other attorneys.  The attorneys listed here are included entirely based on their reputations in the legal community.  None of the attorneys listed on this site has asked to be included, and none have paid anything to be listed here. 

Click on any of the buttons above to be taken to an attorney with a top reputation in that area of the law.
