The CAB are a good place to start if it's a straightforward dispute, but bear in mind that free advice is worth exactly that - nothing.  There are no cheap specialists in anything , especially employment law.  You get what you pay for. There are however, solictors who give good value.  They will not charge £200 ph and will agree all fees in advance and will check with you before incurring any fees and can agree fixed rates.  The truth is that in the event of a big dispute, having a solictors firm behind you gives you clout.  It may work out less expensive in the long run.

First, hire a criminal defense attorney. You can find one at Martindale.com if you don't have one in mind already. Then, you should consult with a civil trial attorney. The criminal defense attorney may have a good recommendation for the other attorney. If not, try martindale again. If the criminal attorney recommends him/herself, I would look for another attorney. It is very rare that an attorney is good in both areas of the law.\n\nWhatever you do, don't go for the "Pre-paid Legal" option. Their attorneys may be adequate, but the best attorneys don't need to affilliate with those "low cost" services to attract clients. Some big name firms may allow their low level associates to take those cases, but you won't get their top attorneys.

Nothing is free, but there has to be some legal aid organizations that help you out for a lower fee.  This might not be the case anymore, but I know for a fact when my biological father was in prison and this was 44 years ago, my mom filed for divorce, and my father refused to sign the paperwork.  Well, the Warden signed the paperwork, seeing that the Warden was in charge of my fathers (all inmates) affairs and responsibilities.  The paperwork was accepted by the courts.  My mom remarried to my current father (step father) who has been there for me throught out my life, and busted his butt to raise me.  I will forever be grateful to my current dad,for raising me and treating me as his own.  But back to you, good luck and check out the legal aid organizations.

If he has been PUBLICLY disciplined, you can check with your state's supreme court  -- in Colo, not sure about other states.  However, the people who are regulating attorneys, are attorneys themselves and they try to protect their own.  Unless the transgression is severe, there may have been private sanctions and you won't be able to find out about them.\n.
