General practice attorneys can often be found online or in a local phone book. However, if you want to be sure that you can trust the lawyer and know that he has experience with your type of legal problem then you can ask friends and family if they have anyone they can recommend. Some firms will have more experience with certain types of cases, like immigration, litigation, trademark, and patent. Others will have more experience working as a power of attorney or fighting on the defense side. Automobile accidents, insurance claims, personal injury, and DUI cases can sometimes have an agreed settlement take place so you won't have to go in front of a judge. Of course, you have the right to appeal a decision if you believe it was wrong. Property and estate disputes, divorces, and civil cases will never have two cases that are the same. Therefore, you will need to find a lawyer that has as much experience as possible to know what to do in different situations. Call and make an appointment to visit their office and have a consultation to see if they will work up to your standards. Ask if the firm requires you pay a retainer for them to work for you. To find a general practice attorney that will work pro bono, you may have to be a special case. To find local lawyers, you can call different offices and find which is most convenient to you. You may want to let them know what type of problem you're having, whether it's about a property dispute, divorce, or injury while working.
