During your evaluation process, you should consider whether the lawyers at Buchalter offer free consultation, (if not) how much the initial interview costs, what's the fee schedule, if there is any hidden attorney fees, whether they have good community reputation and are able to provide a list of good references. You can also contact the Board of Professional Responsibility of the state bar, to find out if the lawyers have ever been placed under any disciplinary actions. Please be aware that, though Buchalter's office is located at St. Helena, CA, the lawyers might belong to the bar association of other states. So you should also find out in which state the lawyers are licensed to practice law, whether they are licensed at California, in which area are they licensed.

You should ask how long the lawyer has been in practice, how much experience he or she has in cases like yours, and more importantly, the outcomes of those cases! Focus of Lawyer's Practice and Years Practice are also very important factors in your evaluation process. The more focused the lawyers' practice areas, the better service they could provide. Anyway, do not make decisions solely on one or two factors. Trust your instinct, and only hire people you feel comfortabe working with.
