Our Verification Process and CriteriaIf you are involved in a dispute over water rights or want to better understand your rights and how you can legally sell, lease, or share your rights, call an Athens lawyer. An attorney knowledgeable about water rights can advise you on the law applicable to your case and assist you in protecting or disposing of your right.
With water being such an important aspect to everyday life, there are legal doctrines and rules in place to regulate the control of water rights for surface water, underground water and riparian rights. These rules and doctrines may be applied differently state to state. The help of an attorney is always a good idea.
In legal practice, experience matters. An experienced attorney will likely have handled issues similar to yours many, many times. Therefore, after listening to your situation, the attorney should have a reasonable idea of the time line for a case like yours and the likely resolution.
An experienced lawyer should be able to communicate a basic “road map” on how to proceed. The lawyer should be able to walk you through the anticipated process, key considerations, and potential pitfalls to avoid. Once you’ve laid out the facts of your situation to the lawyer, he/she should be able to frame expectations and likely scenarios to help you understand your legal issue.
For most consumer legal issues, the size of the practice is much less important than the experience, competence, and reputation of the attorney(s) handling your case. Among the most important factors when choosing an attorney are your comfort level with the attorney or practice and the attorney’s track record in bringing about quick, successful resolutions to cases similar to yours.
