Choosing a law firm in Logansport

Before you hire, pull up the attorney's record on the Indiana Roll of Attorneys to see the status, admission date and any public discipline; the Indiana State Bar Association is a separate, voluntary group, so membership there is not proof of a license. Ask whether the firm regularly handles cases in Cass County's courts and who at the firm will actually work on your file. Get the fee arrangement in writing before any work begins.
