Before you call: five questions to ask
- Who will actually handle my case? The lawyer you meet is not always the one who does the work.
- How many cases like mine have you taken to trial, and how did they end? A trial record tells you what happens if your case does not settle.
- What is your fee, and who pays the case costs if we lose? Get both answers in the written agreement.
- How often will I hear from you, and from whom? Agree on it at the start, so silence never leaves you guessing.
- What deadlines apply to my case? Every claim has a filing deadline, and some are much shorter than people expect.
A good first call ends with three answers: who would handle your case, what it would cost (in writing), and your deadline.
