When a legal issue presents itself, you want to have the strongest support possible before moving forward. One way to secure a shoulder to lean on is to hire an attorney who is equally as dedicated to the success of your case. But how do you know you've found the right lawyer? Before wrapping up the hiring process, ask your potential attorney the following three questions.

3 Questions To Ask A Prospective Attorney

1. Have You Represented Cases Like Mine Before?

Most lawyers focus on a few specific legal areas. Before you sign on the dotted line, find out if they have represented cases likes yours in the past, and don't hesitate to ask about their track record in your particular legal area. Instead of falling for a bout of charisma or the promise of an affordable fee, enlist the help of an experienced legal advocate who understands the complexities of the field your case occupies.

2. How Viable Is My Case?

A lawyer can help you identify those factors and assess just how viable your case is. Ask about your chances of success, the different ways your case could play out, and what you can do to strengthen your claim. It's best to know these details beforehand so you can decide just how much time and how many resources you want to invest.

3. How Do You Charge?

Speaking of resources, you should also be clear on how an attorney charges. Some will charge by the hour, others with a flat fee, and certain attorneys only require payment if you win. Understand well in advance how much and how often you will be billed, so you can allocate the necessary funds and focus on building your case.
