Choosing the right attorney can be a difficult and confusing process.  To help you through this process there are several questions you should ask of the attorney and yourself.  First, you should ask the attorney about his experience.  For example, is the attorney a new attorney with only no or little experience?  Is the attorney experienced in the area of law that you need help with? Or is the attorney someone who has been practicing for many years?

Next, you should ask if the attorney has a disciplinary record with the State Bar of Nevada. Obviously, if the attorney has a disciplinary history with the state bar you should investigate the matter further and proceed only after you are comfortable that the attorney you are dealing with is honest, ethical and someone you can trust.

Finally, you should trust yourself when making the final decision.  If you are not feeling comfortable with the attorney for any reason or if you feel pressured to sign up before you are ready these are warning signs that you should not ignore.  Additionally, your initial consultation should be with the attorney that is responsible for your case.  If the law firm tries to have you meet with a non-attorney or with an attorney that you will not be working with, you should probably continue to look for an attorney.  The reality is that you are hiring an attorney to help you with something that is of the utmost importance to you.  As such, you need to be able to trust your attorney and have a relationship that you can count on.  If your initial meeting is not with the attorney that is responsible for handling your case, how could you possibly know if he/she is someone you can trust?
