Interviewing a Prospective Attorney
You need an attorney. You have found a few that seem like they have the experience you need. Follow these critical steps to increase your chances of getting the right attorney the first time. Step 1: Outline your needs in advance. Step 2: Don’t pay for an initial phone consultation. Step 3: Pay attention to the chemistry between you and the attorney. Step 4: Ask lots of questions. Step 5: Be prepared. When you’re meeting with a prospective attorney for the first time don’t forget to ask:
- About the attorney’s accessibility – how will you get a hold of him/her when you need to talk, and how long will it take for them to get back to you.
- What part of your case the attorney will work on, and what parts will be handled by assistants, other attorneys, and administrative staff.
- What recent cases like yours that the attorney handled, and how they turned out.
