Finding a good lawyer – Answering patron questions about finding a good lawyer in Oregon

A common misconception about law library services is that we can help with lawyer referrals. Many people come in thinking we have a list of lawyers in the area and that we know if they are good or not. As wonderful as it would be to have this information available and to be able to point people towards “the best” lawyer, this is outside of our wheelhouse. However, there are resources we can point people to that have some of that information.

One way to find a lawyer is to ask for a referral from someone you know and trust. Even if that referral is a lawyer who practices in another area of law, they may still be able to make a referral to the specialist lawyer needed.

Do you need to find a lawyer in another state? Do you need to find the laws of another state?

Attorneys know about legal notices, service by publication, or other publication requirements, but what about us normal people?! What are we to do?

Here is a little guidance, but I also recommend you ask the judge (if it was a judge who told you to publish a legal notice) or consult an attorney. You want to get this right! It’s not cheap to publish a legal notice and it’s even more expensive to get it wrong – because you have to do it all over again.

Legal notices may also called Legal Ads (not to be confused with Legal Aids!). I wrote a blog post last May about Legal Notice by Publication, but the question pops up now and again, and again, and again.

From the Washington County (Oregon) Law Librarian:

Hot on the heels of yet another law library patron asking me to refer them to a paralegal instead of a lawyer (and we never, ever refer anyone to paralegals (aghhhh) or to specific lawyers – just lawyer referral services) and my posting the other day about Liability for Lawyer Referrals, I read this decision by the Oregon Court of Appeals, Wythe v.
