How to choose a lawyer in Winter Park

Confirm the attorney is a member in good standing of The Florida Bar, which operates under the authority of the Florida Supreme Court and lists any public disciplinary history. Bar membership is mandatory to practice law in Florida.

Ask how often the firm has handled cases like yours specifically in Orange County, and who will actually be working on your file rather than just the attorney whose name is on the letterhead. Clarify billing before signing anything — contingency fees are typical for personal injury cases, while estate planning and real estate matters tend to be hourly or flat fee — and get the arrangement in writing before work begins.
