Good day folks,

I've been having difficulty finding a lawyer who is available and who I feel I can trust.

I am dealing with a covert narcissist who continues to abuse me and physical violence from her is imminent.

Most law firms are either slow to respond or not accepting new clients at this time. A lawyer from a firm that serves several states got back to me and met with me. She didn't discuss any strategy or say anything that is convincing. I found out she is also a new graduate.

Is it a good idea to pay a retainer with someone who has no public reviews, but lower price, and works for a firm with great reviews?

Or should I keep searching? How many firms did you reach out to before finding a lawyer you like and trust and has sufficient experience to win?
