1. Education
You’re allowed to be a snob when it comes to hiring your doctor or your lawyer. You’ve got a lot at stake, and law can be pretty tricky. So you want the smartest lawyer you can find. Now, you would never guess it from talking to me, but I used to be pretty smart: I graduated with honors from Princeton and Georgetown Law, and was an Editor of the Georgetown Law Journal.
2. Experience
A lawyer’s education does not end with graduation from law school. There are many laws, and they’re changing all the time. There are loopholes, and traps for the unwary, and fine distinctions galore. That is why you want an attorney who is not only smart, but experienced. You might think, from my disturbingly youthful appearance, that I’m a rookie. Wrong. I've been a trial lawyer for over 25 years, representing businesses and individuals in state and federal courts in Southern and Northern California.
3. Results
You want a lawyer who’s impressive not just on paper, but in the courtroom, as well. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, as they say, but can you think of any better predictor of future results? Me, neither. My past results include beating some of the largest law firms in the world. For example, I have won a jury trial against Latham & Watkins, and won summary judgment against Graham & James. Once, I even made a class action go away by writing a nice letter. My goal is not just to win, but to win efficiently.
4. Flat Monthly Fee Or Hourly Rate
You want to know what something is going to cost you before you buy it, right? But most lawyers will only quote you an hourly rate, which is almost useless, because you have no idea how many hours your case will take. By contrast, I will handle your case for a flat monthly fee. You’ll know in advance how much your legal fees will be for each month your case is pending. Try getting that deal from any other lawyer with my credentials and experience. Alternatively, if you prefer paying by the hour, you can hire me for just $300 per hour. Again, try getting that deal from any other lawyer with my credentials and experience.
