How to choose a lawyer in Mesa

Confirm the attorney is in good standing through the State Bar of Arizona, which lists license status and any public discipline. Bar membership is mandatory to practice law in the state.

Ask how often the firm has handled cases like yours specifically in Maricopa County, and who will actually be working on your file rather than just the attorney whose name is on the sign. Clarify billing before signing anything — contingency fees are typical for personal injury cases, while real estate and family matters tend to be hourly or flat fee — and get the arrangement in writing before work begins.
