After you find the right lawyer, ask questions until you’re sure you understand what you both agreed to. Then, get the agreement in writing. Talk about your expectations, possible approaches to your case, and the work to be done, according to the Federal Trade Commisson.
And find out how you will exchange information:
- How often will you update me? How will you send updates?
- What information or documents should I send you to help with the case?
- Make copies of original documents before you send them to the lawyer. Ask the lawyer to send you copies of important documents from your case.
