When finding a lawyer on the Internet, you should be cautious and do your homework. Check the prospective attorney’s credentials, especially when dealing with for-profit attorney search services over the Web.
There are a multitude of online directories that can help you find lawyers. Most of these are for-profit enterprises and earn a portion of their profits from fees charged to clients as well as a subscription fee paid by the lawyer. Others websites sell books, forms or other information to the public for self representation.
Remember, even at the federal level, you have to find a lawyer that is licensed to practice in your state. Usually, the referral service will detail where the attorney is licensed.
However, you can consult your state bar association to find lawyers that are licensed in the state where you reside.
