There are some basic pieces of information to gather about a potential attorney that will help you make sure they are the right one for you and your business. Asking about experience and connections is a necessary first step. An attorney’s experience can often inform you about their skill level, and knowing their connections will tell you what other resources they can offer you.
Discuss questions about communication, firm specialty, and caseload with a potential law firm. If a firm has excellent reviews but too many cases, it’s unlikely they will be able to treat your business as well as one without an overburden of clients. You should expect that a firm stays in communication with you and answers emails or phone calls in a timely fashion.
