But surely you're not suggesting that all lawyers are equally effective, have the same style (level of aggressiveness, etc.), or would have the same opinion about a given case?
I can say with certainty, from firsthand experience, that none of these three things is true. I've also seen lawyers replaced because their performance was inadequate.
Given that, how could one possibly avoid having to carefully and deliberately choose a lawyer?
- law 14y agoI'm not sure what you're asking that isn't already addressed by the model rules of professional conduct. Read http://www.americanbar.org/groups/professional_responsibility/publications/model_rules_of_professional_conduct/model_rules_of_professional_conduct_table_of_contents.html http://www.americanbar.org/groups/professional_responsibilit... -- it'll answer many of your questions. Consider finding a lawyer like dating: if the first date (initial consultation, which is generally free) leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth, move on.
