FAQS


 * HOW CAN I FIND INFORMATION ABOUT AN ATTORNEY?
   
   If you want to work with one of the best attorneys in the Bay Area, the law
   firm descriptions in this guide provide an overview of the type of law they
   practice; depending on your circumstances, you may need an estate planning
   attorney, personal injury lawyer or another legal specialty. If one or more
   of the firms on this list have experience with cases like yours, review their
   website and schedule a consultation to become familiar with their process and
   communication style.
   
   


 * WHO ARE THE BEST LAWYERS IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA?
   
   According to SFGATE readers who participated in this year’s Best of Bay Area
   readers’ poll, these are the best lawyers in the San Francisco Bay Area. If
   you’re in need of a family attorney, voters specifically named five top firms
   in that area of the law.
   
   


 * WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LAWYER AND AN ATTORNEY IN CALIFORNIA?
   
   In California, a lawyer has finished law school but hasn’t yet received their
   license to practice law. On the other hand, attorneys are licensed lawyers
   who can represent clients in court. Essentially, every attorney is a lawyer,
   but not every lawyer is an attorney. However, these terms are often used
   interchangeably in casual conversations. All the SF Bay Area attorneys listed
   here are fully licensed to practice law and can represent clients in court
   proceedings.
   
   


 * HOW MUCH IS A LAWYER IN CALIFORNIA?
   
   Legal fees in California and elsewhere heavily depend on the type of legal
   services performed. Estate planning attorneys may charge a flat fee for
   straightforward services like drafting a power of attorney, while personal
   injury lawyers typically work for a contingency fee; this usually amounts to
   about ⅓ of any funds recovered from your lawsuit. Family attorneys charge
   different fees for mediation than complex divorce cases that go before a
   judge in court. You’ll also find that individual lawyers and law firms differ
   in cost from one another, even when they practice the same type of law. To
   get an accurate estimate of legal expenses for your particular case or
   required services, contact a reputable Bay Area attorney like the ones on
   this list directly.
   
   


 * WHERE CAN I FIND AFFORDABLE ATTORNEYS IN THE BAY AREA?
   
   Affordability is relative, and depending on what legal services you need, one
   of the Bay Area attorneys on this list may offer affordable services. If you
   have a limited budget for legal services or need extensive legal
   representation, you may be able to find fee-free legal assistance through the
   San Francisco Area Pro Bono Directory or low-cost legal representation
   through the All For The Family Legal Clinic, Inc.

APPROACH & METHODOLOGY


 * OUR METHODOLOGY
   
   “Best of Bay Area” is a readers’ choice poll, launched in 2024 and conducted
   online and managed by Hearst Bay Area in coordination with SFGATE and our
   Hearst Newspapers Curation Team. Consumers nominate local businesses across a
   range of categories. After votes are tallied, the winning businesses and
   places—winners and all other finalists—that received the most votes in each
   category are announced on SFGATE.com. On this page, Hearst’s “Best of”
   Curators have highlighted useful information about these businesses. If you
   have questions or comments or to report discrepancies about any of the
   information contained in this listing, please let us know at
   support.bestof@hearst.com. You can learn more about Hearst’s Best Of program
   and our curators by clicking here.
   
   


 * ONGOING ELIGIBILITY
   
   The Hearst “Best of” curatorial team constantly monitors local and national
   news sources to ensure businesses featured in this listing remain reliable
   and worthy of consumers’ trust and, therefore, rightfully belong on this
   list. This list will be updated after the next “Best of Bay Area” readers’
   choice poll or earlier as warranted.
