liability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing on this list.

The following guidelines may be helpful:

Contacts several attorneys, briefly describe the nature of the services
you desire, and find out the attorney's qualifications and experience.
Ask for a written schedule of fees charged for the services you need. Do
not turn over documents or funds until you are certain the attorney
understands your legal needs and will handle your case.

may be able to assist you. He can be contacted at telephone number (677)

When dealing with your attorney find out how the attorney plans to
represent you. Ask specific questions and expect the attorney to explain
the legal process and the legal activities planned on your behalf, in a
language you understand. Have your attorney analyze your case and give
you the positive and negative aspects and probable outcome. Tell the
attorney every relevant fact needed to represent your interests.

Ask your attorney to keep you advised of the progress on your case
according to a pre-established schedule. Request copies of all letters
and documents prepared on your behalf.

If you require an unlisted attorney call the Law Society known as the
Bar Association. You may call the Chairperson: Mr. Gabriel Suri to
