Ethics, Integrity, Honesty, Reliable, Reputable, Competent.
In an ideal world, these qualities would describe all attorneys, but as so many dissatisfied, disheartened and disrespected former clients of some other lawyers have learned to their peril, it simply does not.
Suggestions on how to screen Houston juvenile attorneys:
1) Is the attorney Board Certified in Juvenile Law? This can be checked at the Texas Board of Legal Specialization website.
2) Is the juvenile attorney rated well by other attorneys and clients? This can be checked at the AVVO website.
3) Has the attorney been sanctioned for misconduct by the Texas State Bar? This can be checked at the Texas State Bar website.
4) Does the attorney have any negative publicity on-line? This can be checked by Googling their name.
5) Does the attorney receive large sums of money each year from handling court-appointed cases? This can be checked at the website of the Harris County Auditor. You can enter the attorney’s name in the window for Vendor Name.
6) Does the attorney who receives income on court-appointed cases also contribute to the judicial campaigns of the judges? This can be checked at the website of the Texas Ethics Commission. You can also learn much by reading articles in the Houston Chronicle or Houston Press.
