Choosing a law firm in Newington

Connecticut has no mandatory bar association, so check an attorney's standing through the Connecticut Judicial Branch's public attorney lookup, which also lists any public discipline. Ask how much experience the firm has with cases like yours and who will actually work on your file day to day. Get the fee arrangement — contingency, hourly or flat fee — in writing before signing anything.
