Choosing a law firm in Martinsville

Confirm any attorney's status on the Indiana Roll of Attorneys, the official statewide list kept under the Indiana Supreme Court, and check whether the Disciplinary Commission has filed any public discipline against them. Membership in the Indiana State Bar Association is voluntary and separate from that record, so don't treat it as proof of a license on its own.

Find out how much of the firm's caseload actually runs through Morgan County's courts and who on the team will handle your file day to day. Before anything moves forward, get the fee terms — contingency, hourly or flat fee — down in writing.
