Choosing a law firm in Rochester Hills

Confirm the lawyer's license is active with the State Bar of Michigan, which also shows any public disciplinary history. Ask about experience specifically with Oakland County's courts, since local procedure can differ from other parts of the state. Get clear on billing — contingency, hourly or flat fee — and put that agreement in writing before moving forward, and ask who at the firm will actually handle your matter.
