| − | When meeting with a prospective lawyer, make sure you are prepared. They usually bill on an hourly basis. Therefore, every time you call, you're being charged. You can reduce the cost of meeting with your lawyer if you prepare everything you need to talk about in advance and make sure all your paperwork is ready.

| − | Make sure you are able to communicate effectively with your lawyer. When they don't get back to you for many days, you haven't explained to them how much contact you need or he's just too busy. In the case of the former, give the lawyer a call and keep regular contact. For the latter, get a new lawyer immediately.

| − | Make sure agreements about the fees are signed before you start working together. This will prevent any unexpected expenses popping up during your case. This will ensure that you do not end up paying more money then you plan on.

| − | After you've met with a lawyer you're interested in engaging, run through a pre-determined checklist about them. Was their office well organized or a little too clean or messy? Are they professional appearing, both in manners and dress? If you need to reach them urgently, will they reply quickly to a phone call or an e-mail? Make sure they keep appointments most of the time.

| − | Try to be as honest and open with your lawyer as you possibly can. The lawyer-client privilege signifies that whatever you discuss with your attorney is completely confidential. Even the court cannot force your lawyer to disclose what you have said. Being completely honest with your attorney will enable them to successfully represent you.

| − | Don't hire a lawyer who boasts of an easy win. Lawyers who approach cases in that way tend not to be of high quality. The law is complex, and you surely need a lawyer able to review every angle and spot every issue. Choose wisely here.

| − | If a lawyer is desperate for you, then don't hire them. This could be a scam and may cost you more money. Do your research and create a short list before approaching anyone.

| − | You should never hire a lawyer without first meeting them face to face. If you do not meet them you will have no idea of how they interact, if they are well mannered and if they are someone that would work well with you. Hiring a lawyer sight unseen can be a big mistake. This will also allow you to see how comfortable you are around your lawyer.

| − | Be sure to quiz each lawyer thoroughly. During a first meeting, the lawyer must demonstrate a willingness to address your concerns, even if you are not being charged for it. They are responsible for ensuring your comfort with them. Any lawyer who is unwilling to put forth this effort is probably not your best bet.

| − | A lawyer referral service could be exactly what you need. This type of service can locate a lawyer for you. They will vary in quality since some will screen lawyers and just list those with certain qualifications and certain amounts of experience. The more knowledgeable about the process you feel, the better things will work out for you.
