Choosing a law firm in Woodbury

Look up the attorney's registration status with the Minnesota Supreme Court's Lawyer Registration Office before you hire; any public discipline is tracked separately by the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility.

Ask how often the firm has handled cases like yours in Washington County, and who at the firm will actually work on your matter. Settle the fee arrangement in writing — contingency for most injury claims, hourly or flat fee for family, estate and business matters — before work begins.
