Question 1

What should I compare before contacting a firm in California?

Accepted Answer

Compare review counts by source (not just the star rating), whether the firm's primary practice area matches your matter, office proximity, languages spoken, free-consultation availability, and fee structure. Any two firms in California can be viewed side-by-side on one page.

Question 2

What should I look for when comparing law firms?

Accepted Answer

Look at rating AND review count across multiple sources, confirm the firm handles your specific matter as a primary practice area, verify a nearby office, check fee structure, and read what recent clients say about responsiveness — not just outcomes.

Question 3

Why do attorney review ratings differ across sites?

Accepted Answer

Different platforms collect reviews from different audiences and weight them differently. DontHireBlind shows each source's rating and review count separately on every profile and comparison, so you can see where the rating is consistent and where it isn't.

Question 4

Should I contact multiple firms before hiring?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many firms offer free initial consultations. Talking to two or three firms costs nothing and gives you a real basis for comparison on strategy, communication, and fees.
