Finding a lawyer in Sacramento

Sacramento is California's state capital and the seat of Sacramento County, and civil and criminal cases from the area are generally heard in the Sacramento County Superior Court. Because state government is based here, the city's legal market includes firms with regular experience in government, employment and administrative matters alongside the usual range of family, criminal and personal injury work.

How to choose a lawyer in Sacramento

Confirm the lawyer's license is active with the State Bar of California, which also shows any public disciplinary history. Ask about experience specifically with the Sacramento County Superior Court, since local procedure can differ from other counties. Get clear on billing — contingency, hourly or flat fee — and put that agreement in writing. A first consultation is a good chance to see whether the firm has handled cases like yours before, not just cases in general.

Free and low-cost help

Sacramento has legal aid organizations that assist lower-income residents with civil matters such as housing, family law and public benefits, and the State Bar of California's referral service can connect you with a local attorney for a low-cost consultation.
