Ask friends, clergy, bankers, CPAs and others who might have contact with attorneys. Search legal directories. Check the local library or on the Internet for names, areas of practice and ratings of attorneys near you. Be aware that these directories may not list the names of all attorneys near you who would be able to provide assistance. Check telephone listings.
Many attorneys list the areas of law in which they practice.
Contact the Missouri Bar Lawyer Referral Service. Request the Legal Registry for Missouri Baptists. The Legal Registry can help because we have already done some of the work for you . After you have conducted your search, call for appointments and ask about fees. You may want to look for attorneys who do not charge for the initial visit.
