How to know if my lawyer is competent ?

Any lawyer has a diploma that confirms his status. However, even if some have a higher level of studies, they are not automatically better than the others. Not only should you pay a particular attention to how many years of experience do they have, or if their field of knowledge is appropriate to your case.

Is a lawyer supposed to be located in the neighborhood ?

In the opposite of what many might think, the distance does not affect a lawyer’s performance or ability to do his job.

So, the idea is that, if you have serious business to deal with, you better get the best lawyer you may find even if he is far away from your location.

It is essential to have a clean and pleasant atmosphere with your lawyer.

To be able to defend you well, a lawyer has to know everything about his client. So you have to be comfortable with him.
