WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN HIRING AN ATTORNEY?

The attorney's areas of practice and prior experience are important. Also feel free to ask the attorney questions that will help you understand his/her experience in similar matters. Think of it as a job interview. You will want to discuss fees the attorneys will charge. How will fees be generated - on a flat fee, contingent fee, or hourly fee basis? If the fees are billed, what is that process? How much time does the attorney estimate it will take to resolve your matter? Remember, you should be comfortable with the attorney. Can you share the personal aspects of your case with this person?
