Choosing a law firm in Rochelle Park

Before you sign with anyone, look the attorney up in the New Jersey Courts' public attorney index, which shows eligibility to practice and any public discipline from the court's Office of Attorney Ethics. For a business or commercial lease matter, ask about the firm's experience with companies of your size, and how often they appear before the Bergen County Superior Court. Clarify billing before signing anything — contingency fees are typical for personal injury cases, while business and real estate matters tend to be hourly or flat fee — and put the arrangement in writing before any work begins.
