How we ranked University general practice lawyers

We scored 719 University general practice lawyers on nine factors, weighted as shown. A law firm is ranked when its practice area is confirmed and it has 3 or more Google reviews or a claimed profile. A law firm with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency. Other unknown factors are left out, not counted as zero. Scores last refreshed November 9, 2026.

Paid placement never changes a rank or score. Attorney advertising businesses are paid, labelled, limited to 3 and shown above the ranking, outside it.

How to choose a general practice lawyer

  1. Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
  2. Ask how many general legal matters matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
  3. Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
  4. Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
  5. Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
  6. Ask how often the firm handles your kind of matter, and whether it would refer it elsewhere.
  7. Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.

Questions to ask a general practice lawyer

  • How would you approach a matter like mine, and what are the realistic options?
  • How do you charge, and what will the total likely cost?
  • Who will be my main contact, and how quickly do you reply?
  • How often do you handle matters like mine?
  • Is there any conflict of interest that would stop you representing me?
