Whether you’re looking for a lawyer to handle a personal injury case or one that can advise you on a complicated wrongful death situation, knowing how to navigate your first meeting with a potential lawyer can be difficult. It’s for this reason that Bernard M. Tully, Attorney at Law in Pittsburgh, PA, offers potential clients the opportunity to ask questions both in person and through his website.

To help you become better equipped to communicate with a potential lawyer, here are three questions he suggests you ask during your first meeting:

• How Will You Manage My Case? Knowing how a potential lawyer will handle your case is an important factor in deciding which lawyer will work best for you. For instance, Mr. Tully is very detail oriented and values open communication, so he makes sure to let all potential clients know these facts before moving forward.
• How Will You Keep Me Informed? The progress of your case should always be communicated to you, so you want to make sure that the lawyer you hire has communication standards in place. Mr. Tully’s firm, for example, provides clients with free phone conferencing so he and his staff can be in touch no matter the circumstances.
• Who Will Do Most Of The Work? At many law firms, the standard is to pass clients off to junior attorneys who will handle the bulk of the work, so it’s important for you to know which person or team will be tending to your case. Keep in mind that not every law firm operates the same way. Some firms, like Mr. Tully’s, strive to be as hands on and involved as possible.
