Choosing a law firm in Burien

Verify the lawyer's standing with the Washington State Bar Association before signing anything, including whether any public discipline appears on record. Ask how often the firm appears before King County Superior Court on matters like yours, and whether it has worked with clients who need an interpreter or who are new to the area. Put the payment terms in writing before you sign, whether contingency, hourly or flat fee, and ask which attorney will be handling the day-to-day work on your case.
