How do I select a good attorney?

If you are searching websites for an attorney to represent you in a criminal matter, personal injury case, worker's compensation case, medical malpractice case, divorce case, or even real estate transaction, then you either:

If you have a trusted family attorney, or family friend, that practices law, then you should forsake your electronic search for an attorney, and rely on your family friend's legal acumen, experience and reputation in referring you to an attorney.
