Choosing a law firm in Rome

Look up the attorney in the State Bar of Georgia's online directory to make sure the license is active and in good standing, and check whether there's any public discipline on record. Ask how often the firm appears at the Floyd County courthouse for cases like yours. Clarify billing before signing anything — contingency for most injury claims, hourly or flat fee for business, family and real estate work — and get it in writing.
