Finding An Attorney

February 22, 2008

When the family needs an attorney to help draft a will, pursue involuntary civil commitment, or secure guardianship of an incapacitated family member, locating a member of the bar who is familiar with this area of the law may present some problems. If there is an Alzheimer support group in the community, members may provide a list of attorneys familiar with the issues and who are experienced. If no support group exists, then a call to the mental health association or the local bar association may prove valuable for those needing a referral list of attorneys specializing in family or mental health law. You are buying a service; do not hesitate to shop around to find an attorney who will work easily with you and your family. A scheduled appointment with several attorneys on the list will be of great help in finding the lawyer best suited to your family’s needs.
