What questions should I ask at a free consultation?
About the case. What are the realistic outcomes? What's the biggest problem with my case? What would you do in the first thirty days? Are there deadlines I need to worry about right now?
That second question matters most. An attorney who only describes strengths hasn't evaluated it. Ask what worries them.
About experience. How often do you handle this specific charge or this type of case? Have you tried cases like this? Do you practice regularly in this circuit?
About fees. What's the total, what does it cover, and where does it stop? If we lose, do I owe costs? Are costs deducted before or after the fee is calculated? Can I see the agreement before I decide?
About the relationship. Who will actually handle my case day to day? How do I reach you? How often will I hear from you?
Consultations are free. Meeting with more than one is reasonable and not disloyal.
Ask what worries them about your case. The answer tells you whether they've read it. ---
