The Law Mesa

One of the best ways to get a lawyer’s legal ability is by interviewing them a list of a lawyer and then choose the best one. Most of the lawyers will provide an initial consultation—usually an hour or less—free of cost. So if you want to hire an attorney, you may now be wondering about how you go about finding a good one.

​

It would be good for you to ask around among your family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances to see if they know of any attorneys they could recommend. Personal references can be some of the most reliable references you will find. Ask a lawyer you trust, even if they don’t practice in the area of law in which you need legal help; they may be able to recommend colleagues who can handle your case.

​

Let’s discuss a few questions you need to ask before hiring a Lawyer -- Do you provide a free consultation? If not, how much does the initial interview cost? How long have you been in practice? How much experience do you have in cases like mine, and what were the outcomes of those cases? Have you ever been the subject of disciplinary action? What are your fees? What services are included? How do you expect to be paid (lump sum, installments, etc.)? Are your fees or fee structure negotiable?

What is your caseload currently like? Do you have the time to commit to my case? These are all important questions that you need to ask before finalizing a meeting with your Lawyer. Visit your attorney's office to take special note of the way his or her office is run and how their support staff treats you. You need to pay attention to a few factors such as how long it took for the attorney to return your initial contact.
