There are a few things you can do make sure your pant pockets look professional.  First, start with the right tools:

• A good iron with steam
• Stay tape
• Pins

There are a many different kinds of pants pockets to choose from; here I will focus on the front slant pockets.  Regardless if your pants are lined or unlined the process will be the same.

• Start by pinning stay tape onto the wrong side of the fabric (here I have used 1/4" cotton tape).
• Stitch with the stay tape on the top and ease the pocket edge.
• Attach pocket lining.
• Roll pocket edge to the underside and press on a HAM.
• Stitch along edge of lining.
• Topstitch (optional).
• Attach upper pocket to pocket lining.
• Stitch pocket lining together.
• Press.  Press pocket one more time on top of the HAM.
• Pin side seam to pocket edge.
• Stitch with a baste stitch.
