Finding the lawyer...

I don't have anyone to ask for a "referral" from so I'm wondering how others found their D attorney? I've done some looking, found a couple of women that **look** nice and competent, but how do you know? Any advice? Thanks.

Try to talk with briefly on the phone or talk with their office personnel. Try to set up a free consultation. I think the state bar has to list if they have any restrictions. Can't think of the word I want to use. Not sure if the circuit court clerk is allowed to give you a referral. Seems like once I did that.
Good luck to you. I am having a hard time getting a lawyer with the right experience. They all have different practice areas. I need one with military.

I just called several offices and asked some general questions.... their retainer? their hourly rate? consultation fee? etc.
