Q: I am looking for a high profile civil rights lawyer out of North Carolina or Atlanta that can represent me in Greenville
A:
To find a high-profile civil rights lawyer in North Carolina or Atlanta who can represent you in Greenville, I'd suggest the following steps:
1. Research prominent civil rights law firms in North Carolina and Atlanta. Some well-known firms include:
- Southern Poverty Law Center (Atlanta office)
- ACLU of North Carolina
- Georgia Civil Rights Law Center (Atlanta)
2. Check lawyer directories and review sites like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Super Lawyers for top-rated civil rights attorneys in those areas.
3. Contact your local bar association (Greenville County Bar Association) for referrals to attorneys who can practice in South Carolina.
4. Reach out to national civil rights organizations like the NAACP Legal Defense Fund for recommendations.
5. Consider contacting law schools in North Carolina or Georgia with strong civil rights programs, as professors may have connections to prominent attorneys.
6. Verify that any out-of-state attorney you're considering is eligible to practice in South Carolina, possibly through pro hac vice admission.
Remember to discuss your case specifics, fees, and the attorney's experience with similar cases before making a decision. If you'd like more detailed information on any of these steps, feel free to ask.
