What Should a Potential Client Discuss with an Attorney Before Hiring Them?

So, before you hire any personal injury attorney, including DiBella Law, there are several crucial conversations you need to have.

First, ask about their experience and specialization. How long have they been handling cases like yours and what’s their track record? You want someone who knows this area of law inside and out.

Second, get an honest case assessment. A good attorney will tell you the strength and weaknesses of your case up front and not just tell you what you want to hear.

Third, make sure you completely understand the fee structure, what percentage they take, what expenses you might be responsible for, and when payments are due.

Fourth, discuss communication expectations. How often are they going to update you?, who will be talking to you?, and how quickly do they return calls?

Finally, talk about realistic expectations for your case, both in terms of your timeline and potential outcomes. Any attorney who promises you the moon without knowing the details of your case is someone probably to avoid.

These conversations help ensure you’re choosing the right legal partner for your journey to recovery and for compensation.
