Santa Ana, CA commercial litigation attorney Dan Callahan explains how to find and hire a great business litigator. He states that when someone is looking to hire a business litigator, there are several steps they should take. Checking a lawyer’s website is a starting point, though most sites naturally highlight victories and successes. If a website lacks significant wins, it might raise questions about the attorney’s experience. Other reputable sources like Super Lawyers and Martindale-Hubbell can provide additional insight into a lawyer’s track record.

The key is to identify attorneys with strong experience and a proven history of success, then dig deeper: review their website, interview them, and determine whether they currently have the capacity to take on your case. It’s also crucial to clarify who will actually handle your matter—whether it will be the attorney with the big wins or if it will be delegated to an associate or paralegal.

Choosing a lawyer is an important decision; it’s not about hiring a friend, neighbor, or relative who happens to be a lawyer. The goal is to hire the best professional in that specific area of law. In practice, I help clients identify top attorneys in their field, vet them to ensure they have the expertise and energy to handle the case, and then facilitate a direct conversation between the client and the lawyer to ensure the right fit.
