If you are having financial problems, you have a lot of stress in your life. So, how would you go about finding an attorney to help you? There are many ways to find the name of an attorney, such as asking a friend, or looking up information online. But, once you find the name, how do you know that attorney is the right one for the job?
Hiring an attorney is not like going shopping for a shirt, or a restaurant for dinner. You need to find someone that you can work with, and that you can trust. It’s much more like going on a job interview.
Yes, your prospective employer is checking you out to see if you can do the job, and have the right education and qualifications to do good work. Likewise, the attorney you meet with is “checking you out” to see if you are someone he or she can work with, and who will follow through to do the things necessary to have a successful case.
And, when you go on a job interview, you also are “checking out” the employer to see if that company will treat you fairly, give you things to do that you are capable of doing, and help guide you to meet their expectations. Similarly, when you meet with an attorney, you are looking to see if that attorney listens to you, tries to find out what your goals are, and what you need to help accomplish those goals. So, when you call the attorney’s office, did they greet you with respect, or call you back promptly? Did they get enough information to find out what they can do to help you? Do you get to speak with an attorney directly to discuss your situation? Are you confident that you have a plan to solve your problems? You need to be comfortable that you can work with the attorney for the length of the job, your case.
