Getting An Employment Lawyer
If you got an employment case that needs legal assistance and representation by an attorney, you must be wary in choosing the right employment lawyer. It is your exclusive right to choose an advocate to uphold your worker's rights. But how do you start scouting for the right lawyer?
First, you need to be sure of three things that must be present with an employment lawyer: first, he must be specialized with employment laws; second, he should represent the employees of his jurisdiction; and third, he must have his own office or he comes from a law firm in your state.
Most labor unions have a pool of referrals for lawyers who can handle employment cases like yours. But if you're out on your own to look for a lawyer, you can refer to websites that usually contains details about their background and track record. Yellow pages can be a good resource too. The National Employment Lawyers Association (www.nela.org) has a repository of lawyer information that represents employees (not employers). You can also ask referral from friends or other lawyers (use the free lawyer referral service from your local state bar association). Be sure that you choose a lawyer within a short period of time, because most legal claims have time limits so it's best to act on your claim as soon as you've secured the lawyer of your choice.
It's also advisable to keep a list of possible lawyers that you fancy working with, then you narrow the list to about three. Apply the rules of collect and select here. Then you schedule an appointment with these three lawyers. Once you've talked with them you will then have a better disposition to choose the best lawyer you can find.
Once you chose your lawyer, you then arrange for the fee agreement. Some would charge on a contingency fee basis; others will charge you a statutory fee, depending n your case. If there's anything you might wish to clarify with the arrangement, ask all your questions you might have before you enter an agreement. And make sure that you understand all that is written on the written fee agreement before you sign it to lessen the chances of misunderstanding.
Remember that because of the nature of employment laws, time is of the essence when you choose an employment lawyer. Be sure that you choose carefully in haste so your claims don't get delayed.
