Choosing a law firm in Dahlonega

Confirm any attorney is an active member in good standing with the State Bar of Georgia, which licenses every lawyer practicing in the state; its member directory shows the date of admission and any public discipline.

Because Lumpkin County is a small county, ask how often the firm appears before its Superior Court judges, and whether the lawyer who meets with you is the one who will actually handle your case. Settle the fee arrangement — contingency, hourly or flat fee — in writing before work begins.
