Asking for a recommendation from friends/family is best, even if their lawyer doesn't specialize in employment law. In the case where the lawyer doesn't do employment law, say you were recommended by a friend/family and ask them if they can refer you to a lawyer with the right expertise.
Failing that, contact your state bar association. For example, the CA bar association offers a list of certified lawyer referral services that will help you find a lawyer with the right expertise: http://www.calbar.ca.gov/Public/LawyerReferralServicesLRS.aspx http://www.calbar.ca.gov/Public/LawyerReferralServicesLRS.as...

- jacquesm 11y agoHe uses 'with the right expertise' twice, merely uses the non-specialist lawyer as a way to get to one that is specialized.
- spacecowboy_lon 11y agoBut those of us who have experience in employment issues know the damage that j random lawyer you met down the golf club can do. Which is why I think it was necessary to be very direct about the issue
- wpietri 11y agoI don't think the objection is to being direct. It's to dramatically expressing contradiction when you are in fact agreeing. Next time try something like, "Yes yes yes, definitely find a specialist employment lawyer. Referrals and the state bar are a good way to do that, but make sure you end up with somebody who has spent a few years dealing directly with cases like this."
- mynameisvlad 11y agoAt no point does he say to get advice from that non-specialized lawyer. He even says that if the lawyer doesn't practice employment law, to simply get a referral. What more do you want? A massive billboard with "only use employment lawyers here"?
