Choosing
an Attorney
The choice of a lawyer is
a tricky business, as personal
as your choice of friends,
furniture, or deodorant. They
come in all shapes and sizes,
and you not only have to find
out whether your case is right
for them, but also if they
as an attorney and as a person
are right for you.
Regarding
how to choose an attorney,
here is what I tell people,
including family and friends.
- Ask for a free consultation.
Anybody who (A) wants your
business; and (B) is honest,
will talk to you for a half
hour or so without charge.
I myself do this most of
the time; exceptions are
if I have already spent more
than a half an hour on the
telephone with the person
doing the initial interview.
