correct documents, and completing the litgation process in order and in
a timely manner.
Q: How do I find an attorney?
A: People often find attorneys by word of mouth. If a friend or relative
has used an attorney in the past, and had a positive experience, they
may recommend said lawyer. Websites such as Avvo also help clients search
for highly ranked attorneys in their state. Google is also a tool that
is frequently used to find lawyers. If you are searching for a business

Q: How do I know that they are suitable for my case?
A: Lawyers and law firms often have websites. These websites usually contain
information about the firm, and awards and certifications that the attorneys
possess. The more experience a firm or lawyer has, the better equipped
they are to handle your case.
Q: Should I ask certain questions when I initially meet my lawyer?
A: It is ideal to write down all questions and concerns you have about
your case, and bring that, as well as relevant documents, to your first
meeting. This way, you are organized and prepared to listen to the attorney's
answers in detail. You may ask about their legal experience, as well as
their willingness to take on your case. It is important that you discuss
your role in the case, as well, so you know what you are expected to do.
Discussing how soon your case will be resolved is also important information
to obtain.
Q: What about fees?
A: Different law firms have different types of fees. For example, if a
firm has fixed rates, this means that all clients are charged the same,
no matter what issue a client is facing. A contingency fee is when a lawyer
or firm does not charge the client any money unless the client is awarded
monetary compensation. Hourly fees may include the amount of time an attorney
spends with you in person, over the phone, or responding to emails. Firms
and attorneys all charge differently, so you may wish to ask about their
pricing when you have your initial meeting.
