CHOOSING A LAWYER


Constitutional provisions guarantee you the right to represent yourself in legal disputes. Unfortunately, the right to pursue an activity is no indication of its advisability. People who are unfamiliar with the law often do not understand the intricacies of the legal system and often fail to get just and fair settlements from the courts.

Choosing a lawyer can be a confusing. The law, like many disciplines, is divided into areas of specialization and having the right lawyer can make a substantial difference in the outcome of your case.

Following is a partial list of questions that you should ask any lawyer that you are considering retaining. Call Susan Clark and ask these and other questions you have. You will find that the Clark Law Office has the right attorney for you or will provide referrals to other attorneys with the necessary skills.

What is your legal experience?

Have you handled cases like mine?

What is the probable outcomes of my case?

What alternatives exist in the resolution of this matter?

How long do cases like mine take?

How muchdo you charge, and how are fees and expenses billed?

How often, and in what manner, will I receive progress reports?
