    Hiring an attorney to do work for you?
    Ask to meet with the attorney before you determine whether you will have them perform legal work for you. Find out whether they have experience with the type of work you want done. Ask family members or friends you respect for their experience with attorneys.

    The determination of the deed for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements, certification, specialization or self-proclaimed expertise. A description or indication of limitation of practice does not mean that any agency or board has certified such lawyers as specialists or experts in an indicated field of practice nor does it mean that such lawyer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered. These disclosures are required b the Supreme Court of Iowa.
