Clients and friends, both local and abroad, often ask about the best methods for obtaining the services of a top trial attorney for counsel and representation. In response to those potentially seeking legal counsel, Azzam Elder advises it is a good idea to consider the following questions when interviewing prospective trial attorneys:
1. What occupies most of the attorney’s time? Are they litigating, or are they not as active in trying cases as they once were? Trial attorneys need keep their “trial muscles” in training. Don’t be swayed by someone’s impressive reputation of yesteryear. You need a skilled litigator who is currently practicing in the courtroom with you.
2. How much experience does the attorney have with trying cases? Azzam Elder has amassed a wide variety of experience by trying over one hundred cases. A competent trial attorney will be proud to share their credentials. Any trial attorney you are considering hiring should be able to detail their legal education, specialties, and courtroom and trial experience. If they hesitate to share these details, or if something doesn’t sound quite right, politely and quickly move along.
3. Ask your prospective attorney if they are registered with their local Bar Association. If the trial attorney claims to be registered, be sure to telephone the association to confirm he or she is in good standing.
