What should I ask a lawyer?

Before hiring a lawyer, consider interviewing several lawyers. Write down the information you receive from these interviews. You may want to ask the following questions:

-  Will you have to pay for the interview?
-  What are the lawyer's qualifications and experience relevant to your case?
-  Has the lawyer handled a problem similar to yours? What was the result?
-  Will the lawyer personally work on your case? If not who will be working on
 it, lawyers or legal assistants or both?
-  What are the lawyer's fees? Will they be changed while representing you?
-  What are the services that will be rendered for those fees?
-  What other expenses are likely to be incurred, if any?
-  What payment options are available?
-  How frequently will the lawyer bill you?
