What do you consider when looking for an Attorney?

We've all had our fair share of them.  Attorneys who take your money and forget what they were supposed to do for you.  Taking on too many clients, no follow through, big egos, and the list goes on and on and on.  But is it fair to think this way when there are good attorneys out there willing to go the extra mile for you?  (I haven't met one yet  lol)  What do you think about this Pasadena lawyer's take below?

Lawyers need to be problem solvers and not our problem!

Good article from today's edition of Pasadena Star-News on the need for lawyers to be problem solvers. The article can be found at the following link: http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/business/ci_18639868

As a mediator, I have had many divorce mediations where I have had to mediate between the two attorneys.  In particular, two women attorneys who did not like each other, and kept putting the other one down.  If I knew I'd be at cat fight, I would have bought some cat nip to the session!

If more lawyers were problem solvers as Attorney Mark Baer suggests, the costs of litigation would not be as high as they are today.  What do you think?
