Before you meet with any lawyers, do
some “comparison shopping.” Make a list of
several lawyers. Call each lawyer and ask ques-
tions that might help you make your decision.
(Some lawyers may prefer to meet with you
briefly in person.)
Ask about the lawyer’s experience and when
he or she last handled a similar case. Ask if he or
she will meet with you once free of charge before
you make your hiring decision. If there is a fee for
such a consultation, find out how much it will be.
In any case, do not expect a long first meeting; 15
minutes to a half-hour is average.
Write down everything that the lawyers have
to say. Take time to think it over. Then make
another appointment with the lawyer who seems
right for you.
