How to Choose a Lawyer

Choosing A Lawyers Can Be Difficult

At the Law Offices of Robert E. Slota, we understand that choosing a lawyer can be difficult and that your goal is to find a lawyer with whom you are comfortable as both a person and a professional. One of the best ways to find a lawyer is to seek a recommendation from people whose opinions you respect: an employer, lawyer at your workplace, teacher, minister, doctor, relative, neighbor or friends. The nature of your legal problem will help define the type of lawyer you will want to hire. Often lawyers have one or more specialties and you want to make sure your lawyer has experience in your type of case. We focus our attention on serious personal injuries and wrongful death claims.

What Should I Ask A Lawyer?

At the first meeting you should ask:

• What experience the lawyer has in your type of legal matter
• For a preliminary outline of how the lawyer believes the case should be handled
• How you can or will be expected to participate in your case
• How you will be kept informed about the status of the matter
• If the lawyer will provide you with a fee agreement that details fees, expenses, billing and payment
• For an estimate of the lawyer's total fee

After Meeting With The Lawyer Ask Yourself If You:

• Will be comfortable working closely with this lawyer
• Are confident that this lawyer has the experience and skill to handle your case
• Understand the lawyer's explanation of what your case involves
• Understand the proposed fee agreement
