Selecting a lawyer is an important decision for any personal, contractual, business or legal issue you may face. The right lawyer can significantly impact the outcome you’re hoping for. At DGF Morgan, we prioritise communication and clarity and adopt a commonsense approach to help you in your time of need.
Here are our tips to make it easier for you to choose the right law firm in Sydney:
If you’ve never had to use a lawyer before, a good starting point is to ask for recommendations from friends, family or coworkers. Personal referrals can give you a good insight into a lawyer’s expertise, communication style and reliability.
Some questions you could ask include:
Use the internet to find lawyers in your local area who have experience and specialise in the specific area of law you need. Look for firms with positive Google reviews, testimonials and detailed information about their services.
Some key resources you could use include:
Reach out to the New South Wales Law Society for recommendations and verifications of lawyer’s credentials. Professional associations can provide valuable advice and information about a lawyer’s qualifications and standing.
Once you have your eyes set on a particular lawyer, make sure the lawyer or law firm has the necessary qualifications and experience to handle your case or situation. Look for lawyers who specialise in the area of law relevant to your needs, such as business law, estate planning or SMSFs.
Some important things to take into account include:
Most lawyers offer free initial consultations. Use this opportunity to discuss your case, ask questions and evaluate where you feel comfortable working with the lawyer. Pay attention to their communication skills, responsiveness and willingness to explain the legal process.
Some questions to ask during the consultation could include:
In some cases, hiring a lawyer in your local area can be an advantage because they will be familiar with local laws and the courts in your jurisdiction. A local lawyer may also be more accessible for meetings and consultations.
At the end of the day, it’s always helpful to trust your instincts when making the final decision. Choose a lawyer who you feel comfortable with and confident in, as you will need to work closely with them throughout the legal process.
