How to Choose a Elder Law Lawyer in California
- Check the license. Every attorney admitted in California can be looked up through the State Bar of California, together with any public discipline. Do it before the first meeting.
- Ask about elder law cases specifically. General practice is not the same as a track record in your type of matter: ask how many similar cases the lawyer handled recently and how they ended.
- Local courts matter. Procedures, filing practice and judges differ from county to county even within California. Ask whether the lawyer regularly appears in the courts that will hear your case.
- Get the fee agreement in writing. Hourly rate, flat fee or contingency, what counts as costs, and what happens if the case ends early — all of it should be on paper before work starts.
