Just because
the

mean
that

successful
.
Be sure
that you
go over his past carefully so that
you'
re able
to
determine how well he does his job
.
+

+
Ask any lawyers
that you
are considering for a list of their fees. The fees can range greatly based on the lawyer's demand and experience and it is best to know what you will be paying before you agree to use him. After the proceedings have begun,
you
don
'
t want
to
lose your lawyer
.
-
Inquire about the fees that you
are
going to have to pay
.
Not all lawyers cost the same and their fees can differ significantly. You want
to be
aware
of
how much
you are
going to spend upfront
.
Get the best
lawyer
you can afford, but don't break
your
bank
.
+
Rule number one of hiring a lawyer: Ambulance chasers
are
bad news
.
This is likely
to be
some sort
of
scam, particularly if
you are
dealing with an expensive issue
.
Do your research and hire a good
lawyer
on
your
own terms
.
-
Talk
to
people you trust about whether
or
now they know of
a
good
lawyer.
Speak to your friends
and
family and see if they have suggestions. Their personal experience
will
work
to
your benefit
.
+
If your court case pertains
to
real estate like buying
or
selling
a
home or being sued by a former landlord, you need a real estate
lawyer.
They are specially trained in real estate law,
and will
be able
to
give you the best possible advice
.
-
Always make notes of sessions
with
your attorney. Note the date, time, what was discussed, any monies paid and what
the lawyer
says your bill is up to
.
This will help
you
handle any problems that can arise later such as unexpectedly big fees or fees
that you
can
'
t comprehend
.
+
Never go
with the
first
lawyer
you see in the phone book when you need one
.
You should do the proper research to make sure
you
make the best decision. You may even find
that you'
ve hired a lawyer without a valid license or one who has been sued for malpractice. It is always better to be safe than sorry
.
-
Beware of giving a
lawyer
a big retainer for taking
you
on
. If
they have a certain retainer before taking a case, be sure
you
can be refunded what is not used. You may also
want to
shop around for lawyers
who
will take a smaller retainer
,
then charge you any extra
.
+
Never go with the first
lawyer you
see in the phone book when you need one
. If you want
the best lawyer, you need
to
do your research. The lawyer I hired,
who
was recommended by my personal real estate broker when I bough my first house
,
got her license revoked for malpractice! You want an honest representative
.
-
Trust is an extremely important part of the lawyer-client relationship. This is the most important thing, especially if it is
a
long-term
lawyer
. Many lawyers try to ask for blank checks and large retainers. In such cases
,
your financial future is at stake
.
Safeguard
your
future the best way
you
can
.
+
When choosing
a lawyer,
research their reputation thoroughly
.
Contact
your
local bar association and look for reviews to help
you
decide whether to work with any lawyer you are considering. Doing this research will help you save a lot of time and money
.
-
Use an attorney referral service. They can often connect people
to
an attorney that is right for
them.
Find out first what criteria
they
use in determining which lawyer to recommend; some do more screening than others
.
Some others tend to include any lawyer
with
the requisite level of liability insurance
.
Find out what qualifications
are
necessary on any site
you
consider
.
+
Talk
to
every lawyer like you are interviewing
them.
Lawyers should not hesitate when answering your questions, nor should
they
evade them
.
They are responsible for making you feel comfortable
with
their knowledge base
.
If they
are
unwilling to do that, just walk away because they are wrong for
you.
-
Know about
your
case before talking to a
lawyer.
Finding
a
good lawyer will
be
hard if
you
do
not
have
a
good understanding of the legal issue
you are
dealing
with
. Conduct a bit of research on your legal situation. This will put you in the best position to succeed
.
+
Don't give
your lawyer
an enormous retainer up front
.
If they have
a
certain retainer before taking a case,
be
sure
you
can be refunded what is
not
used. It may be necessary to start
a
new search as well, to find someone with fees
you are
a little more comfortable
with.
-
A great way
to
find a reliable lawyer
is
to talk to your family and friends to ask
for
a referral
.
A friend
who
has had a good
experience
with a particular lawyer means that it is more likely that you
will
find a competent and courteous staff
who
are committed to their cases
.
+
Try using lawyer referral services. They can often connect people
to
an attorney that
is
right
for
them
.
These particular services vary in what they provide. Some will only list lawyers
who
contain certain qualifications and contain thorough
experience
. Other services
will
list lawyers
who
meet the standards of the state bar. To select the right referral service, you must understand the service's selection criteria
.
-
Prepare
to
do research before filing
your
Worker's Compensation claim
.
Every state has different laws regarding the amount of time
you
have
to
file and the proof you need
to
show
.
An experienced Worker's Compensation lawyer is a great asset to
your
claim since they are familiar with all the special rules and regulations. There are other rules that have to
be
followed
.
+
Sign a fee agreement with a lawyer prior
to
him or her working on
your
case
.
This helps
you to
know what sort of budget
to
have in mind
.
Further,
your
finances will
be
more predictable
