Questions to ask your lawyer:

• What will hiring an attorney it cost?
• Is the initial meeting free of charge?
• What is the charge per hour?
• What other legal expenses are there?
• If considering litigation, could I be responsible for the other side's costs?
• What is the timetable working a case like mine?
• How long will my matter take to conclude?
• What could delay the conclusion of my case?
• What are the prospects for success?
• Does the lawyer properly understand what my problem is?
• What are your attorney's qualifications and experience? 
• Tell me about the types of case you have handled and the results.
• Does your attorney understand your case?

Ask your lawyer to summarize the advice you've been given and read it carefully when it arrives. This will demonstrate whether the lawyer fully understands your case. If you are not happy, now is the time to clarify the situation - or find another lawyer if your first choice does not inspire confidence.
