Why should I hire a lawyer?
- Lawyers save you time and money. They get it done right the first time.
- Lawyers are familiar with and educated in their areas of practice. A competent lawyer can assist and guide you through your legal issues.
- Lawyers understand and are familiar with pitfalls within their area of expertise. They can explain them to you and help you make an educated decision.
- No matter how honest you are, legal issues inevitably arise. A competent attorney is able to address your legal issues and prevent a legal dispute.
How should I prepare for my meeting with the lawyer?
- Bring notes to remind you of all the points you wish to discuss with your lawyer.
- Know the details surrounding your legal situation.
- Bring with you all the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the people involved.
- Bring all papers that have to do with your case. (Your lawyer may ask you to provide him or her with these papers before your meeting.)
- Send your lawyer all the information they ask to see before meeting with you.
What is the best strategy for working with my lawyer?
- Let your lawyer know exactly what you want, and make sure what you want is realistic.
- Choose a lawyer with whom you are comfortable. You will be spending a lot of time with him or her.
- Ask for an estimate on how long the proceedings will take. Understand how often and when your lawyer will contact you with updates.
- Let your lawyer know of all new developments in your case, even if you think it is unimportant. It might be very important to your lawyer.
- Give your lawyer all of the information that you have, even if it is embarrassing. He or she needs to know everything that might affect your case.
- Be sure you understand and agree with the lawyer's billing practices including what type of fee you will be paying (fixed, hourly, retainer, contingency or statutory fee) and what additional costs you should anticipate paying.
- Whenever you have a question or concern, please contact your lawyer. Listen to the answers your lawyer has for you and act on all of the answers that require action. This way there are no surprises for your lawyer.
- You are the most essential aspect of contributing to a successful outcome. The more organized and informed you are on the issues, the more you can educate your lawyer on the non-legal issues; resulting in less time spent by your lawyer and more money saved by you.
