Choosing an Attorney: Making Your Selection

Making Your Selection

After your initial consultation with each prospective lawyer, ask yourself these questions:

Did the lawyer listen to me?
Was I treated with concern?
Was the lawyer knowledgeable?
Did the lawyer give me a good understanding of my alternative courses of action?
Do I understand the range of possible results associated with each course of action?
Am I clear about the lawyer’s fees?
