A: I understand that you are looking for an attorney in California to assist with a question regarding your mother's medical treatment. Here are a few steps you can take to find a suitable attorney:

1. Contact the State Bar of California's Lawyer Referral Service. They can connect you with a qualified attorney in your area who specializes in medical malpractice or elder law.

2. Search for legal aid organizations in your county that provide free or low-cost legal services. Some organizations may have expertise in healthcare-related issues.

3. Ask for referrals from friends, family, or colleagues who have experienced similar legal issues.

4. Use online directories such as FindLaw, Avvo, or Martindale-Hubbell to search for attorneys in your area who specialize in medical malpractice or elder law.

5. Schedule consultations with a few attorneys to discuss your case and determine which one is the best fit for your needs.

When seeking legal assistance, it's essential to act promptly, as there may be time limitations on when you can file a claim or take legal action. Additionally, be prepared to provide the attorney with relevant information and documents related to your mother's medical treatment to help them better understand your case.
