How Do You Choose The Best Attorney For Your
Needs?
It's confusing trying to choose a trial attorney.
You may have never needed a trial attorney before, so you ask a friend to refer
you to someone, or look in the Yellow Pages where hundreds, or even thousands of
attorneys are listed. But how do you choose one attorney over another and how
can you be sure that you will choose the right attorney to handle your
particular legal problem?
This has been written to help you make that
choice. It will answer your questions about choosing a qualified and highly
trained attorney with expertise in the area of law relating to your special
problem. Finding the right attorney is to your benefit and to the attorney's as
well. That is why the Supreme Court of New Jersey has directed the Board on
Trial Attorney Certification to carry out the certification program in an effort
to raise the level of competence of trial attorneys in this State. This program
is designed to help you make an informed decision when seeking and selecting a
trial lawyer.
Why would I use anyone but a Certified Civil
Trial Attorney to handle my matter?
Unless you use a certified civil trial attorney, it
is very difficult to determine the level of experience and the extent of the
qualifications of the lawyer with which you are working.
Many lawyers advertise or claim that they are “trial lawyers,” but
less than three percent of the lawyers in New Jersey have met the strict
standards, set by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, to be permitted to use the
designation of Certified Civil Trial Attorney.
Frankly, it is hard to imagine why one would retain an attorney who is
not a certified civil trial attorney to handle a significant case.
