I'm considering changing attorneys for our co-op. I have 3 attorneys to choose from but not sure how you decide which one to hire?

alll good ideas, but consider something else. Do you want a large or small firm. Is your co op over 500 apartments with numerous legal issues resulting from varied tenant problems or a smaller ones with most of the problems typical real estate problems as opposed to litigation. if your problems are varied, a firm with several attorneys who specialize in different areas might be a good fit.
Thank you all for your input. Our co-op has 51 units. The only major issue we currently have is our present attorney is in court to remove a shareholder for illegal sublet. We do have shareholders in arrears (4) but they are paying up before the 3rd month. So I guess a small law firm would be good.
Response time and ability to articulate legal issues in simple concepts is important There should be chemistry between client and professional, i.e., ability to relate to the client and his general needs expressed as well as trust in his/her competence demonstrated through the interview process.
