How do you find a good lawyer in Florida that specializes? -

in wills, trusts, and estate planning? How do you separate the average from the best?

Usually word of mouth is the best bet, if you are fortunate enough to know someone who has had experience with a particular attorney. The only other way is to take your chances with the local Bar Association or an attorney referral service. It really is just be a crap shot most of the time.

A place I ve found to be a good source is: http://www.localfloridaattorneys.com/Cat... They have ratings and reviews for lawyers in all fields of law. In general it s a good place to know about, because you have access to a lawyer if you should need their legal services. If you re seeking a lawyer for any of the above topics you listed. I personally would call a few in your local area, and get a feel for the office. Speaking with the administrative assistant is a good start, it ll tell you alot about their practice. Are they pleasant, abrasive, inpatient? The best thing to do is seek a consultation, you ll get a real good idea of whether you ll want them to represent you or not. Good Luck!
