Many people struggle with finding an attorney for their
legal matter as they don’t know where to begin. Understanding the terms, court systems, and
laws can be overwhelming and a bit confusing so we wanted to help make your
hunt for a trusted attorney a little bit easier. It is important that you feel
secure with the attorney you choose to represent you, so we have gathered some
questions and answers for you to know when finding an attorney.
Is the attorney with
the lowest hourly rate less expensive?
If the attorney does not have expertise with your legal
matter, or is inefficient, a lower hourly rate will not always be less
expensive. Usually, attorneys with more experience and a higher hourly rate are
generally more affordable than those with lower rate. Also, some law firms have
their associates process legal work. In this case, many associates require a
minimum number of hours and can bill you to meet their assigned billing quota.
Should I find an
attorney near my location?
If the attorney is willing to travel to you, you can be open
to someone that is not local.
Usually, most clients aren’t required to meet with their attorney once they
have hired them, so finding someone close is not a requirement.
Should I look for the
most inexpensive attorney I can find?
As important as it is to stay within your budget, hiring the
most inexpensive attorney does not always pan out in your best interest. You
should hire the attorney with the best research resources available, rather than
going solely for the lowest prices. Ask your attorney about their library
resources, and if they charge separate for online research. If the skills,
experience, and support tools are available, that is the attorney that will
provide you with the best service.
