You are an individual who needs an individual advice. Legal assistance is always personalized,
especially in business. You need to have a lawyer that will understand your business, your needs
and what is best for you. You do not want a generic solution that may fit many situations but
not yours specifically.
Get to know your legal advisor and the way he works before getting into the details of the case.
If you are not comfortable with your lawyer, it is better to find another one. You should never
be afraid to ask questions or voice concerns. You are paying for the legal assistance; therefore,
you should get what you want from him. The relationship between you and your lawyer should
be a personal one. You need to trust each other, as well as be able to communicate well with
each other. Do not be afraid to ask questions or request advice from your attorney; he is there
for that purpose.
Don’t pay for what you don’t need – don’t buy legal services off the shelf packages. Be sure if
you actually need them. You may not need all the services that are included in “do-it-yourself”
legal packages. You can save a lot of money by simply taking care of some aspects of your case
yourself and then hiring an attorney for the parts you cannot handle yourself.
Prepare a brief and comprehensive summary of your request before going to a lawyer – it will
save time for both sides and make communication, understanding and working process more
efficient. Section: Don’t be afraid to ask for a written estimate – this will help you avoid any
surprises and make sure that you are both on the same page with regard to cost. If a lawyer does
not provide an estimate, consider looking elsewhere. Section: If your case is simple, don’t hire
an attorney – if your case can be handled by someone less expensive, such as a paralegal or
legal assistant, then use them instead of an attorney.
Pay attention to service quality besides expertise – a good relationship with your lawyer
guarantees great results!
