Look at the lawyer's body language as well; you will be able to find out whether he or she is interested in the case itself. If the lawyer is showing a little boredom at your case, then it would be safe to consider other lawyers for the practice – unless the particular lawyer is a known genius and pulls through even with such demeanor.

However, if you want to play safe, then it would be a good bet to find a lawyer the listens intently, is interested in your case, and is not aloof and overbearing in dealing with you.

3. Don't Be Afraid to Ask Questions
Do not, at all costs, be afraid to ask questions. Matters such as bills, scope of the case, payment details, and other matters should not be an esoteric exercise. Everything should be transparent and open.

Your lawyer should not tire of explaining and elucidating legal terms and strategies regarding your case. It is your head, after all, that is on the line. The lawyer should cooperate and interact with you on the case.

Conclusion
Good lawyers are not that rare. However, a good lawyer that fits your case and your personality perfectly is. Make sure you have enough time to choose and evaluate those that will represent you in the court of law.
