When it comes to law firms, you want the best. And that’s exactly what you get at Cook, Craig, and Francuzenko. There are several things to look for when you choose a law firm, and we have them all. Here’s what makes us the best law firm in Virginia.
Experience and Expertise
Many law firms may have experience in one area, but not all. Choosing an attorney that has experience and expertise in the area you need is important. For example, if you are looking for a small business lawyer, you want someone who specializes in those types of cases.
At Cook, Craig, and Francuzenko, we have attorneys in nearly every field. Whatever your case, we can most likely help you with it.
Advocacy
While many attorneys will just tell clients what they want to hear, our attorneys are well educated in the law and can give you advice based on facts and the precedent. An excellent lawyer will tell you what is right for you, not just what is easiest for them.
Fee Schedules
The best law firms in Virginia will explain their fee schedules and give you a complete breakdown of the fees. Some attorneys charge you a total amount up front, others charge for specific services. Don’t ever sign a contract for services without being told up front what you will be charged. [Read our FAQ here].
Communication
When it comes to choosing the best law firm in Virginia, you have to look at communication. You want an attorney that can communicate effectively, promptly return phone calls and emails, and is easily accessible to you.
Problem Solving and Negotiating
Whether you are suing someone, getting a divorce, or looking for a business attorney, you want an attorney with great problem-solving ability and negotiation skills. A great attorney can prepare you for potential situations that could arise in your case and have a plan of action for each of them. Additionally, a true professional knows how to effectively negotiate to get fair compensation for you.
Awards and Recognitions
Another great way to recognize outstanding lawyers and law firms is to look at their awards and recognitions. This can give you a good idea of how the attorneys perform and how they rank against other attorneys in the area. For example, here at Cook, Craig, and Francuzenko we are proud to be recognized as top attorneys in the state of Virginia. Some of the awards our attorneys hold include:
- Washingtonian Magazine “Top Lawyers” List
- Super Lawyers®® Magazine “Super Lawyers®®” List
