Law firm needed!

[Changeling]

I need a really good trial lawyer. This concerns a case of fraud by an insurance company. Loads of proof ! I don't want to use one of the locals.

Please don't ask any questions because "I will not respond"! I am looking for a really good firm that handles these type of situations (insurance) and prefer actual experience from a reputable firm.

PS. Sounds simple (finding a lawyer) I know, but it is absolutely NOT!

You may actually want to check Lawyer, Lawyers, Attorney, Attorneys, Law, Legal Information - FindLaw. It's a reputable site that is referenced often by legal professionals.

Your best bet is to ask around where you live. Local attorneys will have more bargaining power and are probably going to be more affordable.

Try to get one that will offer a free consultation. Go in, tell them everything, and see if they analyze the situation or jump to a quick answer. Some attorneys seem to be out just for a quick buck, but most are willing to to truthfully and willingly assist your cause.

ALSO, before you accept an attorney, check to see that they are in good standing with your state's Bar association. You can also go as far as to look into your state's Supreme court filings and see if they are mentioned in any cases (also on FindLaw). Typically you'll see the cases listed as "[State] Bar Association v. [Lawyer Name]" -- I believe these are usually hearings for attorneys that have failed to follow yearly guidelines to stay in practice (necessary ethics training, renewing license, etc).

Thank you sir, I was/am realistically a total blank on lawyers, except for what I have heard, which is not good. I'll take your suggestions and see what develops.
