• Find the Bar Association in the state for where you live. Ask them to help you find a lawyer that can handle your case against another lawyer.

• Decide on the amount of financial gain you want to receive from suing your lawyer. If your lawyer owes you money as the result of never paying back the settlement you won, then you need to factor that in. Once you find a lawyer make listen to what your lawyer has to say and whether or not they believe they can win the case.


• Seek out more than one lawyer when you are looking for an opinion on whether you have a good case or not. Some lawyers will require that you meet with them in person. This may require a consultation fee. This fee will have to be paid whether they feel you have a case or not.


• Choose the attorney you feel you will have better winning your lawsuit with. The Bar Association will usually give you a small listing of lawyers they feel will be able to help your. Make sure you ask each lawyer detailed questions and find out their percentage rate of handling and winning cases such as yours.
