The Utah State Bar has launched a new Web site in an effort to help people seek attorneys and better understand how to successfully work with a lawyer.
The new "Find A Utah Lawyer Directory" is available at www.findautahlawyer.org.
A question-and-answer session at the site narrows the seeker's location, then a map lists lawyers in the seeker's county. The results include a lawyer's years of practice, location, area of practice and spoken language.
There are 427 lawyers participating in the voluntary program, which includes every county. There are 21 languages represented, including Farsi, Korean, Samoan and American Sign Language.
The bar anticipates more than 1,000 lawyers will be listed by the year's end.
