Dealing with Lawyers


John Gulick Hiring Your Lawyer
attorney (415) 782-1330

  • Be able to understand what your lawyer plans to do and how much it will cost.

  • Be sure you understand what your lawyer tells you and ask if you aren't sure.

  • Feel trust in the person whom you plan to hire (you must maintain this throughout the relationship).

  • Ask for a written fee agreement.

  • Ask for references and check with the persons whose names you have been given.

  • Ask the lawyer for examples of cases similar to yours handled.

  • Ask the lawyer about recent trial experiences (winning or losing isn't as important as actually being involved in trial work).
