What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
When considering hiring an attorney, it is important to ask about the attorney's experience in the particular area of law that you are interested in. You should ask whether or not the attorney has handled cases like yours, has extensive trial experience and what the results have been. It is also important to know how accessible the attorney is to speak with you and answer questions while handling the case.
