Confirm the attorney's status on the Indiana Roll of Attorneys, the statewide list kept under the Indiana Supreme Court, before you hire. Because county government and court business runs through Goshen's courthouse, ask how often the firm appears there and whether it has handled a matter like yours for a farm, manufacturing employer or family business. Get the fee arrangement in writing before work begins.
