How Do I Find an Attorney?

If you’re planning on filing a lawsuit, your choice of attorney can make an important difference about the success of your case. When you’re looking for an attorney to represent you, you should look for a lawyer who has experience with the type of case you’re planning to file. Finding the right lawyer can be overwhelming. Although internet search engines are a useful tool to help you get started, there are other resources that may be more helpful. In fact, some attorneys may already be representing plaintiffs like you.

Top Class Actions is a great resource for consumers who are thinking of taking legal action. We work with a large network of attorneys who help consumers get compensation for the harm they’ve suffered and hold companies accountable for their actions. You can find a list of active investigations here. If you think you might be eligible to participate, simply fill out the form on the investigation page and an attorney will contact you if you qualify. There is no fee or obligation to use this service. [Related: “What is a Lawsuit Investigation?“]

If you don’t see your legal issue represented in our active investigations, you can submit information about your situation to our network of attorneys with our Start a Class Action feature. If you have a potential case, an attorney will contact you to schedule a free consultation and explain your legal rights. The attorney will talk with you about the next steps you should take regarding your potential class action lawsuit. There is no fee to use this service, and you are under no obligation to hire the attorney.

What Should I Look for in a Lawyer?

The most important consideration when you’re choosing someone to represent you is the lawyer’s experience. Ask the attorney if he or she has had prior experience with cases that are similar to yours. If you don’t feel comfortable asking questions, you may want to schedule a consultation with a different attorney.

Filing a lawsuit is a big commitment and involves an ongoing relationship with your counsel. It is important to find an attorney that you can count on to provide reliable legal advice and who will answer your questions openly and honestly. Your lawyer should be able to tell you about the strengths and weaknesses of your case as well as the approach he or she will take to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.

      1. Top Class Actions says:

        We have a number of law firms who regularly preview submissions. Because you weren’t contacted doesn’t mean you don’t have a case, or that you won’t be contacted in the future. It just means that the attorneys we work with may have decided to work with another potential plaintiff at this time. You are always welcome to consult your own attorney, and should you choose to go that route, we recommend checking out http://www.consumeradvocates.org/find-an-attorney. Once there, you will be able to search a broad database of specialized attorneys in your area that you may consult.
