Finding a lawyer in Delray Beach

Delray Beach is a coastal city in Palm Beach County, between Boca Raton and Boynton Beach, and local cases are generally handled through the Palm Beach County courts. The city's downtown arts and dining district along Atlantic Avenue draws a steady stream of visitors and seasonal residents alongside a large year-round retiree population, which gives Delray Beach's legal market a strong estate planning and real estate practice next to the usual family, injury and criminal work.

Estate planning and probate lawyers help the city's retired and part-time residents put wills and trusts in place and settle estates after a death. Real estate attorneys handle closings, condominium disputes and landlord-tenant matters for both waterfront and downtown properties. Personal injury and car accident lawyers take on claims from crashes on local roads and seasonal traffic increases. Family and divorce attorneys guide clients through custody, support and property division in Palm Beach County's family courts. Criminal defense and DUI lawyers represent people facing charges in Palm Beach County's criminal courts. Business lawyers support the shops, restaurants and other companies that make up the city's downtown economy.

Choosing a law firm in Delray Beach

Before you hire anyone, run the lawyer's name through The Florida Bar's public attorney lookup to see that the license is active and in good standing. Ask about experience with your specific type of case, including any work in Palm Beach County's courts, since local procedure can vary across South Florida. Get the fee structure — contingency, hourly or flat fee — in writing before any work begins, and ask who will be handling your case day to day.
