A good attorney is very important. You should trust your attorney wholly. Here are some pointers to keep in mind about your current or prospective attorney:
• Select a lawyer you feel comfortable with.
• Be honest and straightforward.
• Understand what you want your attorney to do.
• Don't expect perfection.
• Know the difference between office lawyers and litigators.
• Understand the fee structure.
• Develop a good working relationship with your attorney.
• Deal with differences promptly.
Your attorney should address your questions and concerns promptly, keeping you informed on all relevant matters. You should have a clear understanding of any potential consequences of your case – win or lose. Develop a good venue for communication from the very beginning … Emails? Phone calls? Letters? By taking care of the little things, you have a much better chance of letting your attorney do the big things right.
