• ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
• What is your area of specialization? How will you
  keep me informed of my case progress?
• Will you let me decide whether to take a
  settlement or go to court?
• UNDERSTAND THE FEE STRUCTURE
• Does the lawyer work on contingency or an
  hourly/flat fee?
• For contingency cases, what is the percentage?
• For hourly fees, how long does he/she estimate
  your case will take?
