Finding
a Lawyer
Retaining the right attorney to fight for you in a
wrongful termination lawsuit can be intimidating. Most
people have little or no experience with lawyers or the
court system. Many people assume that, to find a good
lawyer, they need only pick a name out of the phone book.
This is not a wise course. The legal field of employee
rights is complicated and only a lawyer with significant
experience and training in this field will be an effective
advocate for you in court. When seeking a lawyer to handle
your wrongful termination case, here are some factors you
should consider:
- the lawyer's reputation, age and experience
representing older workers
- the lawyer's training and education
- the results the lawyer has achieved for clients with
similar claims
- whether the lawyer is nearby you or the court where you
case will be filed
- the lawyer's availability and willingness to focus on
your case
- whether the lawyer will work on your case on a partial
or straight contingency basis (in other words, whether he
will charge you any money before he settles or wins your
case)
- whether the lawyer has any conflicts of interest with
your case (for example, whether he has performed work for
the employer you intend to sue)
- the lawyer's resources (whether he has the support
staff and money to effectively represent you)
You should consider speaking with several lawyers before
you choose one
