Topics include questions to ask, and not ask, when interviewing attorneys, various means of attorney compensation and which one may be best for your situation, specific ways to reduce legal fees and costs, overcoming disputes with outside counsel, and transferring a file from one lawyer to a new lawyer. 10 Things Your Lawyer Won’t Tell You (But Should):
- I’m not really qualified to handle your case
- I’d prefer to be paid hourly, but…
- My young associate will do all the work
- My fees are negotiable
- So are my out-of-pocket costs
- You don’t need to understand my bills
- If you complain, I may reduce my bills
- I don’t have insurance
- I’m not your type
- I’m replaceable.
