1) The Old Fashioned Way: talk to a lawyer you know and trust, and ask them to refer you to someone; or,
2) Do it the new Internet way by asking a question on line and then checking out the reputation of the lawyers who answer (if you’d be happy with the whole world knowing your facts); or
3) Go to Avvo.com and plug in the legal topic or the prospective lawyers’ names or the geographic area and then get answers, names, reviews, and endorsements all in the same place.
