Where can I get information on my lawyer? For example, where he/she went to school, how long he/she has been practicing, etc.? Thanks in advance for your help. :p

Some ways to check

Of course, don't forget, just as doctors have to be mass murderers practicallly for any bad things to show up on a license search, it applies to lawyers also
(ie: Most malpractice cases are settled. Only cases where the trial went to court and the doctor lost will it show up. I took up a lawyer on charges and nothing happened...I just hope he does not drive under the influence the way he botched my case under the influence of major drugs...oh well, I learned that if HE could get through law school so could I, and now I am going. The money he lost on my case could have paid my three-year tuition, though.)

My response:

Lawyers usually display their diplomas on their office wall. Ask to see them.

www.martindale.com is also a good site to look up - although not all lawyers choose to list their names with them, it is a good site to get started on a search. Many of the lawyers listed have their credentials listed and many choose to be peer reviewed.
