How to Find a Specific Lawyer

September 3rd, 2008 Posted in Finding A Lawyer

One question we often get asked is how to find a specific lawyer. For example, “I need to find Ms. Smith. She represented me in court in Calgary in 1987″. Or “….Mr. Abbott from Abbott, Abbott & Little” in Windsor who drafted my Will 15 years ago”.

Often a targeted search in google for the individual’s name will yield a result. But sometimes not. But don’t despair, the information is still close at hand.

The provincial law societies all mantain a database of practicing lawyers in the respective provinces. Many of the provinces provide access to this information online. And the lawyers are mandated to keep this information current. So if you are looking for a specific lawyer, start with a visit the appropriate provincial law society’s website. (BTW, we maintain a list of Law Society sites on the bar to the right.)
