Finding a lawyer in Whittier

Whittier is in southeastern Los Angeles County, and civil and criminal cases from the city are handled within the Los Angeles County Superior Court system. Home to Whittier College and a mix of long-established neighborhoods, the city's legal market covers the family, personal injury and real estate matters typical of a settled residential community in the county.

Legal issues people in Whittier bring to lawyers

Family and divorce lawyers in Whittier guide residents through custody, support and property division in the Los Angeles County family courts. Personal injury and car accident attorneys take on claims from crashes along the busy roads connecting Whittier to the rest of the county. Real estate lawyers handle purchases, leases and disputes tied to the area's older housing stock. Estate planning and probate attorneys help residents write wills and trusts and settle estates. Employment lawyers take on wage and wrongful termination disputes for people working locally. Business lawyers assist the smaller companies and retail operations along the city's commercial corridors.

Choosing a law firm in Whittier

Confirm the lawyer's license is active with the State Bar of California, which also lists any public disciplinary history. Ask about experience with cases in the Los Angeles County Superior Court system, and get the fee arrangement — contingency, hourly or flat fee — in writing before any work begins. Ask who will actually be handling your case day to day and how the firm plans to keep you updated, and use an initial consultation to see whether the attorney explains your options clearly before you commit.

Free and low-cost help

Los Angeles County 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. The county's courts publish self-help materials for small claims and similar matters people handle on their own.
