How To Find An Honest Chicago Lawyer or Attorney
Chicago lawyers and attorneys are advertising all over the internet, and this has made it easier to find an Chicago attorney. However, there is still a problem in finding the right chicago attorney for your case or problem.
If the selected Chicago lawyer is inexperienced, incompetent, or lacks the willingness or ability to communicate effectively with you, the paying client, you will be dissatisfied with the chicago lawyer's service and not get what you deserve under the law.
In addition to that, the consequences for you could be catastrophic, such as losing a business or being unable to recover for injuries the you sustained at the carelessness of another.
In order to find the best Chicago attorney, one needs more than a list of names, even if these are specialists in the relevant legal area. Clients are best served by asking questions before they decide on an attorney to retain.
Consumer dissatisfaction with Chicago lawyers has become a major problem. A survey taken in 1995 by Consumer's Union revealed that out of 30,000 respondents, one–third were not well satisfied with the quality of their attorneys' services nationwide. The reasons for this dissatisfaction varied, ranging from attorneys failing to keep their clients informed on the progress of their cases, failing to protect clients' interests, failing to resolve cases in a timely manner, and continually charge unreasonable fees. The reason for this widespread dissatisfaction is linked to the lack of knowledge by consumers on how to find attorneys experienced with the kinds of problems they are facing as well as knowing what questions to ask a lawyer they are considering retaining. The results of a one thousand person survey reported in the Florida Bar Journal revealed that the average time spent in finding a lawyer was two hours or less. Nearly one half of those surveyed said it was hard to find a good lawyer, and over a quarter of them said they did not know how to find a lawyer. It is remarkable that 80 per cent of respondents said they wished there was a source for information on lawyers' credentials.
