Choosing a law firm in West Chester

The Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania keeps the official record of every lawyer admitted in the state, including current status and any public discipline — look for "Active" status before you hire. Ask how often the firm appears in Chester County's courts specifically, and who will actually be handling your file day to day. Clarify billing before signing anything, and get the fee agreement in writing.
