[quote Dennis S]All things being equal, how do these factors affect your decision?
• Big firm vs. 1 or 2-man operation
• Luxurious office vs. modest office
• Extensive advertising vs. low profile
• Big Yellow Page ad vs. small text ad
• Advertising on TV - good or bad
1) 100% this depends on the type of the case
2) not a factor at all usually, unless it matters to you
3) low profile almost always
4) I judge attorneys by their yellow pages ad, so sure. I don't like aggressive sales pitches and ads; look for quality. A ad that says "estate planning" particularly "medicaid estate planning" and "tax" would be good here.
5) advertising on TV is almost always a bad sign.
