Finding a lawyer in Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens is a residential neighborhood in the borough of Queens, part of Queens County, and it is also home to the county's main courthouse complex, including the Queens County Supreme, Civil, Criminal and Surrogate's Courts. That makes Kew Gardens something of a legal center for the borough, and many law firms base themselves here specifically for the easy access to the courts where their cases are heard.

Legal issues people in Kew Gardens bring to lawyers

Criminal defense lawyers in Kew Gardens represent clients in the Queens County courthouse complex, from arraignment through trial. Family and divorce attorneys handle custody, support and divorce matters filed in Queens County's Supreme and Family Courts. Real estate lawyers work with co-op and condo owners on purchases, sales and lease reviews common in the neighborhood's apartment buildings. Estate planning and probate attorneys handle wills and estate administration through Queens County's Surrogate's Court, also located here. Personal injury lawyers take on car accident and premises claims from the neighborhood and surrounding Queens communities. Immigration attorneys assist clients with visas, green cards and removal defense.

Choosing a law firm in Kew Gardens

Confirm the attorney is currently registered through the New York State Unified Court System's public attorney search, which shows registration status, admission year and any public discipline. New York has no mandatory state bar, so this check matters more than a firm's advertising. Because so many firms here work daily in the Queens County courthouse, ask about the lawyer's specific experience with your type of case and before the particular court that will hear it. Get the fee arrangement in writing before you sign — contingency fees are standard for personal injury work, while family, real estate and estate matters are more often billed hourly or as a flat fee.

Free and low-cost help

Civil legal aid for low-income residents in Kew Gardens and the rest of Queens comes mainly through the Legal Aid Society, which handles housing, family and benefits matters. With the borough's courts right in the neighborhood, many people start with the New York City Bar's lawyer referral service for a reduced-cost first meeting. Anyone facing criminal charges who cannot afford a lawyer is entitled to a court-appointed attorney.
