| Finding
a lawyer to represent you can be one of the
most important decisions you ever make. Lawyers,
like most other professionals, have different
areas of specialization, different levels
of expertise, and different styles of practicing
law. For people unfamiliar with the law, interviewing
potential lawyers can be like trying to learn
a new language. The process of finding a lawyer
is made even more difficult because frequently
we only interview lawyers during periods of
great stress in our lives.
While every case is unique,
there are certain questions that always
need to be asked of any lawyer. That is
what this article is designed to do --
to provide you with some questions that
may be asked.
The
following questions are designed to quickly
and effectively assist you in making an
intelligent and thoughtful decision when
finding a lawyer.
- What type of work do you specialize
in?
- How many cases like mine have you
handled in the last year? In the last
five years?
- How many lawyers in your office will
be involved in handling my case?
- Do you have examples of jury verdicts/arbitration
awards that you have received in similar
cases that I can review?
- Do you have any former clients whom
I may contact concerning your skills?
- How many other cases are you handling
at this time?
You are encouraged to
interview your potential lawyer as though
your well-being depended on it. While
no lawyer can guarantee positive results,
a proven track record in an area of specialization,
paired with demonstrated expertise, can
maximize your chances.
