Re: Finding a legitimate lawyer
I cannot speak for any state other than New York. However, in my opinion the very best way to inquire about a lawyer is to contact the local bar association. In New York, a grievance is usually submitted through that agency.
If you want to inquire about whether the lawyer is admitted to practice law, in New York there is a web site -- www.courts.state.ny.us/webdb/wdbcgi.exe/apps/INTERNETDB.attyreghome.show
You can conduct a search to determine if the attorney you are using is in good standing in the state.
