How to find a lawyer

We've all heard the jokes - about a million times. We've all heard those funny, funny lawyer jokes. Lawyer jokes really seem to abound these days. Lawyers are liars, lawyers are thieves, lawyers are bloodsucking predatory monsters who live only for money, lawyers will steal candy from a baby and rob an old woman of her last dollar. We've all heard the jokes; we've all heard the accusations. "What's the difference between a lawyer and a big, nasty, stinky bowl of unmentionable slime? The bowl." Etc. etc. It seems that everywhere you turn these days you hear a lawyer joke. Lawyers are even ahead of blonds when it comes to a class of people that gets joked about often. But why should this be? Why should this be the case, after all? Lawyers do serve a legitimate purpose in society, don't they? Lawyers are crucial to a society's survival, aren't they?
The fact is that lawyers do play an important (even a vital) role in any well-functioning society. Lawyers, in fact, are, in a sense, defenders of the law. Lawyers are experts in the law. Lawyers have studied for years and years to know the law - to know the labyrinth of the law - inside and out. Imagine the law as a huge, complicated labyrinth with hundreds of thousands of twists and turns. A labyrinth is a maze. Imagine, then, that you are in this huge maze. You have no idea of how to get out. You want to get out; you can't. There's always another turn, there's always another door. The maze goes on forever. You're trapped. There's nothing you can do to get out.

Believe it or not, people who find themselves in the grips of the law often feel as though they're trapped in a gigantic maze. These people welcome the help of lawyers, because lawyers act as guides in the maze. A lawyer, then, is a guide to help you through the maze of the law. If you've done something wrong, or if someone's done something wrong to you, a lawyer can help you get out of your uncomfortable situation. A lawyer will go before a judge and lay out the facts of your case. A lawyer will help a jury to understand you, to sympathize with you.
That said, how does one go about finding a good lawyer these days? Those lawyer jokes must exist for a reason - and they do. There are bad lawyers out there as well as good ones. How do you find a good one? One thing to keep in mind is that lawyers are also called attorneys. When looking for a good lawyer or attorney, the telephone book is a great place to start.
