What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
The client-attorney relationship is very important. You have to feel confident that you have the right firm. Just because they seem like a good fit does not mean that they are. Online search as well as talking to the persona and meeting them in person if possible will give you an idea of how they will treat you and your case not only at the beginning but throughout the engagement.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
What are the facts
Who, names, is involved and will be important for the attorney to talk to?
Dates: when did you start the business, when was the lawsuit filed, when is the first time you used this logo ever, and when is the first time you used it in a business transaction?
What is the end result that you want to accomplish?
