Choosing a law firm in Sewell

Look up the lawyer in the New Jersey Courts' public attorney index to confirm they are licensed by the Supreme Court of New Jersey and to check for any public discipline; the New Jersey State Bar Association is a voluntary organization, not the licensing body. Ask how often the firm has handled cases like yours specifically in Gloucester County, and who will actually be working on your file day to day. Get the fee arrangement in writing before work begins.
