Choosing a law firm in Temecula

Look up any attorney you're considering in the State Bar of California's directory to check that the license is active and see any public disciplinary record. Ask about experience specific to your kind of case in the Riverside County Superior Court, since procedure can differ from other California counties. Get the fee structure — contingency, hourly or flat fee — in writing before any work begins, and ask who at the firm will handle your case day to day. A short first consultation is usually enough to tell whether a firm is a good match before you commit to anything in writing.
